“Meine Arbeit untersucht die Erzählweisen der Repräsentationstechnologien des 21. Jahrhunderts und stellt in Frage die hybride Natur der Identität, in der virtuelle und reale Selbstentwürfe sich selbst unterscheiden und beschneiden. Ich fühle mich den Künstlern und Schriftstellern der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart verwandt, die auf unheimliche Weise starre Vorstellungen von Realität und Wahrnehmung dekonstruieren. Die Ausweitung dieser Sensibilität auf computergestützte Anwendungen ist für mich nur natürlich als eine Reflexion über das digitale Zeitalter, in dem wir alle zusammenleben.”

Carla Gannis

Carla Gannis lebt und arbeitet in Brooklyn, New York.
