Evening Conversation with Veneta Androva
02.03.2022
6 - 7 pm
Veneta Androva works in the field of experimental documentary film. In her practice she combines various sources such as archival and documentary material with painting. She connects these with each other through animations in virtual environments. In doing so, she questions social constructions of power (such as the relationship between art and gender or capitalism and love) and explores socio-political, economic and gender issues.
In the residency of Prater Digital, Androva continues her artistic research and creates a negotiable narrative. She stages a vision of the future in which robots would restore and contextualize well-known portraits of white male art history.
