Milena Naef questions ‘existing’ structures that are inherent to herself.
The work tries to create the right manifestation of the assumed duality between body and mind.
She translates characteristics of a subjective experience into material, transforming the mental into physical to find a new relation between the two.
Once tangible, the interaction with the concrete material allows for a space to ‘open’ in which a given context can be changed.
The body itself with its physical presence and its absence becomes a vital aspect of the work.
When do structures inhibit or liberate us and our physical form?
What is the consequence of the fact that our bodies are always ‘filling space’?
