ALL MY ACTIONS TODAY WILL AIM TO AVOID THE THINGS THAT I HAVE TO DO
I Tana Manevas performanceverk utvecklar sig kvinnligt konstnärsskap i kropp och handling. Verket vänder sig inåt för att spegla sig i rationalitet och galenskap, skärskåda den kvinnliga identiteten och luckra upp konventioner. Spänningsfältet mellan persona och det ocensurerade självet.
Tana about her work:
”I observe the world and society around me, people, their words and actions.
What are the most frequently used buzzwords around me...
I follow how they turn into clichés, lose their meaning and content.
I reflect how the rational becomes irrational, turns into absurdity, reaches madness and loses its original meaning.”
”That is to say - A correct and respectful expression
of my feministically female and male thoughts
identically identifying my identity and my correct expression...”
Med inspiration från Louise Bourgeois:
”My emotions are my demons”
”All my actions today will aim to avoid the things that I have to do”
