Petra Feriancová

Petra Feriancová is a Slovak contemporary artist, writer, and curator. She works in the intentions of post-production. The key moment of her work is the conceptualization of her own emotional reactions to the processes of perception and memory as well as an examination of the circumstances under which they are shared. She works mostly with already existing images, texts which she interprets and methodically interchanges. The main aim of this form of manipulation with a pictorial or discursive reference is to provide the spectator with the original affective reaction. Each new realization leans towards a kind of implied connection between the universe of unique personal experience and the impersonal processes of individualization, which is conditioned by civilization, history, and culture. She has exhibited in many institutions, among which: Fondazione Morra Greco, Naples, 2014; ISCP International Studio & Curatorial Program, New York, 2011; and the Brno House of Arts, 2012. In 2013, she represented Slovakia and the Czech Republic at the 55th Biennial of Venice with the project titled Still the same place.
