Mariah Carey. Touch My Body. Formalism.
In 2008 I created video work "Mariah Carey. Touch My Body. Formalism". Out of 36 layers of Chromo key footage in collaboration with Oliver Laric. Chopped and screwed Mariah's new single and video Touch My Body into pure form.
"Touch My Body (Green Screen Version) (2008), is a reworking of Maria Carey's music video for the track of the same name. By Masking everything in the video other than Carey's physical form in Chroma Key green screen, Laric created a template over which others were able to edit further new versions of the video. In the final video both Laric's original re-edit and those made subsequently by others who located his green screen version online are shown alongside each other." - Seventeen Gallery

Wave 11
7-inch single release on the steel drill.
Rediscovering the history of the monument Museum of Worker and Kolkhoz Woman. Commissioned work.
Rediscovering the history of the monument Museum of Worker and Kolkhoz Woman. Commissioned work.
During the monument's creation in 1937 for the exhibition of innovations "Paris World's Fair", the sculpture prod was challenging. The group was installed on the spot using a one-sided spot welding technology solution developed by Soviet scientist Pietor Lyvov in the approximately 1930s.
After the exhibition, sadly, the technology was lost.
One-sided spot welding technology was later developed and widely applied by the rest of the world, making it the number one welding solution today.
Learning artistic and industrial welding at the academy I was familiar with metalwork.
And was thinking about how to recreate an atmosphere, of "heavy metal creation" in the Academy's workshop.
I experimented and recorded audio of the welding process for fun.
Playing with the audio, I started jamming with friends to find other bits to add to it. Discovering that the waveform was particularly interesting. I was trying to recreate a similar periodic #, to complete oscillation. After trial and error, chatting with friend musician I realized that Pavel Milyakov/Buttechno’s track wave 11 with industrial textures, and tape echo, had an identical waveform.
I offered to publish the track on vinyl. And we made a deal.
So in this project, I'm stepping up as a welder researcher, and a publisher. :)

Pixel as an Ultimate Black Square
In permanent collection of MUMOK Vienna, Austria.
This work is very important to me and for my practice.
I’m very proud of it, and see it as my final artistic “splash”.

I’m very proud of it, and see it as my final artistic “splash”.
Years-long research and dialogue with my prof Heimo Zobernig, his
approach to display, art architecture, context, and his use of arch gestures + deadpan humor.
Everything learned from him, in our 5 years in the Academy of Fine Arts together.
Conceptual, and nonmaterial work that got into a collection of traditional institutions. Essentially...
Just a black dot on a wall (in this case on the wall of a Dollhouse).
Homage to Malevich's Black Square. A playful take on Heimo’s White Cube (2002), a permanent intervention @MUMOK that acts as a passage or connection between the exhibition rooms on one of its levels. And standalone Black Cube (2010).
In my case that is research-based work, following the journey of a pixel, matter, methodology, and medium of display itself.
After years of exploration and experimentation on my photographic journey, I’ve developed a precise relationship with digital and analog photography. Glitch and broken screens, rizo, printing images on every material possible.
Turning images into sculptures, and navigating photography and space.
Joining Heimo’s class as a “digital” artist and “photographer”, we made a deal, that my Diploma would never be circling around photography.
So off I went, experimenting with screens, making fake iPhones out of clay, throwing clay from the 5th floor in the sculptural studio. I created a sea of artifacts along my search for the final form - the ultimate black dot.
The story goes, through years I collected iPhone boxes, that used to be black. Now those boxes turned white.
We visited the Violletti store in Venice, the Original inspiration behind the narrative behind Apple HQ when Heimo had his moment at the Pavilion... Elevating space and time with slight adjustments to the Austrian Pavillion architecture… “It’s not even art”… “The pavilion is empty..” The OG Troll hit the art world once again.
In 2016 friend invited me to contribute to the show “Dollhouse of a Poem”. A friendly initiative of Viennese artistic circles, Heimo was there with a miniature of his painting “REAL”. The dollhouse had electricity, so I bought a small black screen, hoping to install it. For trivial reasons, the curator decided to just put down a dot with a pencil.
A few years later MUMOK got the Dollhouse into its permanent collection.
And to my surprise in May of 2022, I got an email saying that our little Dollhouse of a Poem gonna be on view at MUMOK, show Collaborations, along with a major crush artist list. Such as Marina Abramovich and others. It felt incredibly special. I was in Mexico City, trying to find peace. Silenced and scared. It felt like time stopped and my dream of being there with my community, and my professor came true. I was there among “others”… Standing tall. And collaborating across the ocean...

Shifting Expectations at P Gallery, solo show
With Shifting Expectations Gallery P is presenting its first solo exhibition with Ania.
She is showing wall installation featuring her newest photographic works. The installation consisting of 32 c-prints. Photographs and a series of portraits mostly taken with an iPhone 5.
...these new works which were to an extent done during her travels, combine urban and rural life in a world that appears as globalized and dominated by technology. Depicting these constraints and moving within different realities searching for her own identity.
From diving into various social and personal narratives, to revelations of the abstract, the concealed and the pure matter of photography.. Light… Or a pixel.
