Synopsis

Photography: Chris Rudz All rights reserved © Inga Cholmogorova

The heroine is balancing on the edge of being a professional artist and an amateur human being, caught up in a struggle for success and recognition in the highly competitive art world. She is single, childless woman reaching her limit in climbing to the top. After spending years of striving by imitating a male imposed way of being in the world, based on competition and power struggle, which demanded many sacrifices without any satisfactionary results, she finally collapses to realize a need for a new way. The work addresses the issues of public and private persona of the artist, investigating the concept of self and ego.  Human condition is the subject matter of the work,investigating a possibility of a new feminine way of being in the world.

"Some day there will be girls and women whose name will no longer signify merely opposite of the masculine, but something in itself, something that makes one think, not of any complement and limit, but only of life and existence: the feminine human being." Letters To A Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke.

Hope to see you there!

On behalf of the artist,

Gina Hillberg

Inga Cholmogorova through her practice (installations, performances, photography and film) concentrates of human body mind spirit phenomenon. The subject matter of her works is human condition. Most of her models for the photography are dancers she works with creating site-specific performances and she chooses the different way of representing human body, finding the new esthetics, revealing the limitations and the potential of human body focusing on the Japanese avant-garde dance Butoh.
