Ellen de Bruijne PROJECTS is delighted to present Insect, History, Mirror, Revolution, a new solo exhibition by Dora García. Dora García will debut her newest work Insect Vocabulary and present it alongside her most recent film Amor Rojo, a performance installation, and three new drawing/book works.
Dora García sculpts and arranges knowledge as a material in its own right. Using extensive documentary research, she delves into complex topics such as the history of the irrational, subconscious mind, and forges links with the great names in literature––including Walser, Artaud, and Joyce. The oeuvre of Dora García folds up into writing, film, installation, and performance, as is centred around stories which she organises and stages, conjuring situations designed to engage the visitor and trigger unique, introspective experiences. The result of this multidisciplinary atlas is a highly conceptual and metaphorical discourse that addresses issues like the artistic dimension of fiction, marginality as a form of resistance, or the symbolic logics that condition our relationship with cultural spaces and products.
