TAMARA MOYZES

 Tamara Moyzes tries not to be too academical in her work, her art is straight-forward imagination – she does not comment upon the reality from afar, she enters the very epicentre of all action. The people in her fictitious documentaries are not actors and their artistic “character” only emphasizes and enlarges their real situation. To uncover the current social controversies, the author uses a mixture of documentary, poetic and funny sequences. But the parody is only a strategy, it does not does not ease the situationv – quite on the contrary – it helps her to present the explosive content in a form that is more acceptable to us.

TAMARA MOYZES
In the focus of the group’s activity, public and urban spaces are regarded as open exhibition places containing many different media that can be used for artistic self-expression. Their works are best interpreted within the network of urban life, public spaces and omnipresent, governing signs, reflecting on the very issue of big city existence and uncovering “hidden” phenomena.
The two-year artistic research project deals with the role of the protest image and its possible impact on real social, political, and economic changes. Through its individual outputs, the project offers multiple perspectives on the use of visual or audiovisual documentation as a possible emancipatory tool of the people.
