Portrait von Ana Rajcevic in ihrem Studio

Ana Rajcevic

is an artist working at the intersection of sculpture, visual art and performance. She focuses on ways of changing the body through complex pieces of jewellery, which she calls "prosthetic body sculptures". Her artistic practice addresses how the ever-changing material forms and substances in which human subjects are embodied shape understandings of "humanity" itself.

What are the material and physical foundations that underpin practices of identity construction and self-representation in our "posthuman" age? Taken on their own, her sculptures stand as works of art in their own right - in galleries as frozen objects - while, worn on the body, they merge with the human subject as naturally grown body parts.

iche Subjekte verkörpert sind, das Verständnis von “Menschlichkeit” selbst gestalten.

Was sind die materiellen und physischen Grundlagen, die den Praktiken der Identitätskonstruktion und Selbstdarstellung in unserem “posthumanen” Zeitalter? Für sich genommen stehen ihre Skulpturen als eigenständige Kunstwerke – in Galerien als eingefrorene Objekte – während sie, am Körper getragen, als natürlich gewachsene Körperteile mit dem menschlichen Subjekt verschmelzen.
