Parallax 2003

Parallax 2003

Andrea Geyer stages social interactions or navigations through (urban) spaces as sites of the production of culture and sources of our experience. Fictional elements and theoretical references, interviews and extensive research flow into her works, which pursue an interest in interpretingidentities not as static, fixed images, but rather as flexible configurations. Her installations are intended to intervene in diverse mechanisms of verbal and visual control and regulation.
The project Parallax revolves around the themes city, nation and citizenship and their role in creating individual and state spaces of action, taking the United States as an example.
The slides conjoin photographs, text excerpts from news papers and news agencies, and staged pictures that follow a protagonist and illustrate the relation of the individual to media information, to the state and its politics in an exemplary way.

ANDREA GEYER, born 1971 in Freiburg, lives and works in New York
