About The Artwork

Video installation Political recycling shows with a strong symbolical way the current status in a Slovenian space, when people in every day and public conversations question the necessity and ability of politicians. Author Valerie Wolf Gang sets the Slovenian Parliament in the toilet bowl, and indicates that this is more suitable place for this kind of political debate as general crisis is getting deeper. The author in a symbolic way also plays with the idea that newspapers and magazines are often read straight on the toilet seat, so it is actually recycled: over the eyes to the brain, and then quickly out through the anus. Then the flush of water follows which takes the political platitudes far away underground where they slowly rot. If all of that could be that easy.

Multimedia artist Valerie Wolf Gang, born on 4th of December 1990, works in a field of video and contemporary art practices. She graduated on Secondary school of Design and Photography in Ljubljana and later made a diploma on School of Arts University of Nova Gorica with the title "Directors role in video installation" and got the BA title of "Digital arts and practices". She also complemented her knowledge and practice at Prague Film Academy FAMU. She is frequently working with a variety of media and creates multimedia installations that were exhibited in various galleries (Gallery Miklova HiÅ¡a, Gallery Central Station, Museum of Contemporary Art, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, Incubator Gallery Zagreb ...), her videos are screened at various festivals (Festival Motovun, IRFFI Estonia, Independent Film Festival, DigitalBigScreen ...) and cinemas (Filmcasino Vienna, Pančevo Serbia, Kinodvor, Kinoteka, Kiberpipa ...). She has been awarded the official status of Independent Cultural Worker, assigned by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia. Currently she is actively involved in a variety of contemporary art and production areas, artist residences and continues her studies at the Master's degree of Media Arts and Practices in the field of contemporary art. "Valérie Wolf Gang is forming in the artist of the new generation, who is more sovereign, strong, uncompromisingly clear in her expressive power, while showing excellent knowledge of the techniques and media she uses." - Rene Rusjan, professor of Contemporary Arts "Demanding production practice which comprises the work of the artist, especially the quality and potential of its practice shows that Valérie Wolf Gang belongs to the group of the population that deserves the status of Independent Cultural Worker as well as other potential state support, mostly due to that its practice can be developed and maintained at a high artistic level, while able to exceed the boundary between art and its users." - Dr. Petja Grafenauer "In Valérie Wolf Gang's work, the sense of social and ideological alienation is played out through careful visual choice of materials and reconstructions. In her work one is made aware of the larger ideological or symbolic order through the actual material configurations being presented - that things can be about something else other than what they are made out to be." - dr.
