The exhibition presents a new installation inspired by the residency the artists had last year in Mexico. The installation is comprised of video, sculpture, digital print and other natural elements collected during their time in Mexico.
Sisters From Another Mister is a joint artistic identity of Milda Lembertaitė (‘87, Lithuania) and Amelia Prazak (‘87, Switzerland). We have a free-wheeling practice employing gender play, witty sculptural forms, musical interludes and video works, in which we often feature. Humorous scenarios function as a pretext for more complex positions. Our approach to technology is a bodily and emotional one: the use of video as an extension to the physical self. Where is the last frontier of the human, a lost frontier, embedded in the geological time, artificial authenticity, stretching through eternity? Here, in the new evolution, the human body unwilling or unable to keep up with the technology and demands of global capital, dreams of another existence, a life constantly shifting its borders and colours, plunged literally into another element: the importance of being elsewhere. The idea of displacement or fragmentation of bodies: body as a human-scape, a spiritual matter, a visual geometry lies at the centre of our research. How to be physical and not just a surface?
