In
her own words:
“I
want to reflect critically on the world I live in, I want to take in a
position. I simply can’t stay neutral in this world. Popular culture has always
been part of my work. It allows me to explore less elitist territories, to link
art with my, and others’, daily life. Action is another element I strongly
believe in. Seeing art as an action, is illustrated by my way of painting – I
paint on videoscreens – but also by a part of my work in which I transform art
galleries into bars, supermarkets or other places where economic transactions
take place. By perturbating these places, I want to question them.”
