Depersonalisation (rewriting old narratives)
Artist: Rebeka Vaino
2024
Oil, spray and acrylic paint, pins on loose canvas
282 x 69cm
Rebeka Vaino (b.1995) is an artist from Tallinn, Estonia, currently living and studying and working and playing and dancing in South East London, England, at the Goldsmiths University of London MFA program and elsewhere.
Her process based work moves fluidly between painting, sculpture, performance, photography, installation and whatever else she can think of as she is not concerned with fixed subjectivity and categorisation.
She aspires to create a moment of aporia: a door to experience something outside of the realms of everyday existence. To destroy the stability of perception and inflict a kind of voluptuous panic upon an otherwise lucid mind; to indulge in the disorganised body in a state of excess; a moment, perhaps as overwhelming and dizzying as the fast turning world, bringing the viewer almost to a standstill, to complete clarity and self-obliteration. The world is spinning too fast for her so she is trying to find something to hold on to.
Her work is a memoir, a cacophony of her lived experiences and the channelling of the body-knowing. Art and life are inseparable here.
