Daphna Weinstein

Born in Israel, lived in Graz between 2007 and 2010, currently in Tirol. Daphna enjoys the art-making process and is in constant search of means of expression. The semantic of everyday materials is significant – here the process of evolution should never stop. Her work is a journey where one point leads to another and instigates identity and polar relationships. She is interested in the distance between horror / joy, emotional / rational, conscious / unconscious, private / public, and how they operate together. Subject matter can include human behaviour, cultural difficulty, anthropology, the all-mighty political world compared to the banal everyday, minuscule individuality. Within this very large disciplinary circle, the unifying line is a sense of contemplation and critical thinking. As described by Roland Barthes: laboratory of situation in which the main tool is the power of speculations.
