Tamara Kuselman
Tamara Kuselman's interests are diverse and variable. During the process of constructing her work, elements are changed and new meanings added with them. This is why she proposes they are understood as a series of doors opening onto more doors.
Many of her works arise from the idea of "representation" in its broadest sense: from fictional representation on the stage and in art, to people's behaviour in everyday life. She explores the frontiers between reality and fiction, setting up situations in which the boundaries between these concepts become muddled.
She tends to work alongside collaborators, and many of her performances are documented in publications, videos and installations, summarising participants' experiences.
Tamara is particularly interested in the expectations generated in each context and how they can be frustrated.
