Irati Inoriza’s work lies somewhere between visual essay and the construction of artistic ecosystems. Through contextual relationships and by taking a stance, she challenges established notions of the construction of the individual and their identity, both individual and collective, in a changing society.
She establishes an approach to the relationship between research and its contextualisation and translation into images. The collaborative relationships she establishes in the space result not in a narrative, but in a body of images and text that reveal two fundamental aspects of contemporary culture: the complexity and irreducibility of a specific situation to a single reading, and the capacity of an image not to represent a situation but to help us analyse our own construction.
On the other hand, these are projects conceived as a dialogue, which seek to establish possibilities for collective artistic action within normalised contexts.
She understands art as an element that accompanies her in her daily exploration and helps her to decipher the coexistence of context. She draws on references such as ‘The ways in which human beings transform themselves into subjects’ or ‘The subject is divided both within itself and from others’ by Michel Foucault (The Subject and Power, 1988) as an impulse that mobilises the present, the space and the moment in which she creates. She uses strategies of fragmentation, repetition and play to create pieces, especially video performances, that are born on the edge of reality with a poetic form.
His current objectives are to develop his professional training through practical work, complemented by his continuous self-teaching. He also wishes to continue his artistic research through projects that verify the concept of art as a tool for communication and knowledge, with coexistence, exploration and co-creation being indispensable elements of this. Without forgetting to continue learning from the different perspectives of human beings on art.
Irati Inoriza (Balmaseda-Bizkaia, 1992). Graduated in Art from the University of the Basque Country (2015), she complemented her training at the Performance Studio directed by Tomáš Ruller in Brno (2013-2014). Her work lies in a field between visual essay and the construction of artistic ecosystems. Through contextual relationships and taking a position, she debates settled notions of the construction of the individual and identity, both individual and collective, in a changing society. The collaborative relationships she establishes over space result not in a narrative, but a body of images and text that reveal two fundamental aspects of contemporary culture: the complexity and irreducibility of a concrete situation to a single reading, and the capacity of an image not to represent a situation but to help us analyze our own construction. To this end, she employs strategies of fragmentation, repetition, and play to create pieces—especially video-performances—that arise on the edge of reality in poetic form.
