Josefina Posch

Josefina Posch in conversation with Yao Yan of ddm warehouse about her piece "Iceberg, right ahead!" part of the 52nd Venice Biennale 2007 Migration Addicts. Josefina Posch is born in Gothenburg Sweden where she is also based. She has been working with a plentitude of media from interactive new media installations, social events such as her collaboration with Michelangelo Pistolettos Love difference gelato or the Gibao Shadow puppet troupe in Shanghai to encompass video, sound, smell ,etchings and sculpture. Always present is her fascination for the paradox between the private and the public, the intellect and primal instincts and has described herself as a shy exhibitonist. During tha last few years she has shifted her focus from post colonial issues to investigating the body and figure in contemporary sculpture.
