Lily Dollner (IE/ UK, 2000) advocates 'unproductiveness' in her work and uses a rational, procedural framework to support absurd and impossible performances. Impracticability is embraced to the binary/scientific/utilitarian mentality/ social construction that has completely infiltrated our daily lives. Productivity culture and industrialism are parodied in her circular, functionless works, where 'the point' is absent, abstract or unattainable.
Through applied nonsense and intentional inconvenience, she negotiates with slippery topics embedded in ideology by skirting-around, suggestively implying, and associatively compiling. |
