As a multidisciplinary artist Mandy Franca (1989, NL) researches the influence of the digital realm on artefacts, mundanity and the influence of migration. Her work is an ongoing investigation into the notion of interconnectedness, drawing from growing up in a cross-cultural environment and personal archive. The artist researches and observes the meaning of mundanity to give eternal value to seemingly insignificant places and objects. Her work touches on the notion of preserving languages, traditions, domestic settings and everyday objects in a state of flux due to digitalization and globalization. Franca’s priority is to bring the individual experience into a broader communal context and show the parallels between our common needs, objects and experiences with the notion of care as a fundamental aspect of being.

As an artist, Mandy Franca subverts and challenges the traditional application of printmaking by experimenting with a range of artistic mediums. She uses the photographic image and mark-making as a recurring element in her work which intersect at painting, photography, print, drawing, collage, video, sculpture and installation. Franca employs experimental forms of print in combination with analog techniques creating a juxtaposition between surfaces and the image. The application of layering in her work is to display the complexity that makes up the present as a marker of the simultaneous. With these techniques Franca wants to challenge ideas of digital materiality, painting and the reproductive image.
