The work is part of a project, ‘Mijn armen zijn schoorstenen’, in which Lisa researches the heritage of language and representation. She blends her poems, drawings, and photographs, searching for a hybrid collision between the three. Can photography become choreographical, sculptural, drawing-like, can a poem become an image? Can borders between media dissolve like borders dissolve for the migrated, for gender, sexuality, for labels? In the work, she answers with her body, which becomes a carrier of words and symbols, deformable as clay.

Lisa Gautama is a Belgian-based art student with Indonesian roots. Her work is an encounter between poetry, photography, film, and illustrations. Raw yet fragile, naked yet poetical, a microcosmos unfolds within the pages of her artist books and notebooks — as little, moving, and ever-changing expositions.

This artwork is showcased at Subbacultcha’s Community Exhibition.
In collaboration with Zwart Op Wit, De Studio & Antwerp Art Weekend
