Nona Inescu
Nona Inescu (b. 1991) lives and works between Athens, Greece, and Bucharest, Romania.
She completed her studies in the summer of 2016 at the National University of Arts in Bucharest (Photography and Video Department) after studying at the Chelsea College of Art & Design in London (2009-2010) and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp (2010-2011).
Her interdisciplinary artistic practice includes photography, installation, sculptures, and video works. Based on a theoretical and literary perspective, the works focus on the relationship between the human body and the environment and the redefinition of this subject in a post-human key. The mediating properties of the body are rendered in several ways, projecting a translation of the world driven by affect, signaling its position as an interface between self and reality. Concepts of geological time and our intense interrelation with our surroundings compose an aesthetic of a primal contemporary togetherness in an organic and biological techno-sphere.
Recent exhibitions have taken place at Catinca Tabacaru Gallery (Bucharest); Lentos Kunstmuseum (Linz); Kandlhofer Galerie (Vienna); Salonul de Proiecte (Bucharest); Brooke Benington (London); Sylvia Kouvali (London); Goethe Institut (Bucharest); Le CAP Saint-Fons (Lyon); Kunstraum Kreuzberg (Berlin); MAMAC (Nice); Radius (Delft); SpazioA (Pistoia); Centre Clark (Montreal); Art Encounters Biennale (Timișoara); KVOST(Berlin); Peles Empire (Berlin); basis (Frankfurt), Tallinn Art Hall (Estonia), Museo della Montagna (Torino), among others.
