Concept

For a dialogue to form, the process requires another. When another is presented the dialogue becomes a dichotomy. Do we adopt another persona according to who we are talking to and how genuine is that chat? According to David Bohm, no one wins a dialogue; a dialogue is an exploratory process and does not work towards a goal. However, Mikhail Bakhtin held that relationships and connections exist among all living beings, and that dialogue creates a new understanding of a situation that demands change.

Dialogue can be seen as an exchange but this exchange is not always equal or amicable, it can manifest into an emotional charge, disagreements, it may lead to conflicts, irrationality, fake romances, or jealous contingencies. Does dialogue hinder us or further us?

Photography

A conceptual artist with a (dark) sense of humour. She deals - in her practice - mostly with aspects of childhood (e.g. the wish to touch, try things, to ask planty of questions; the funny way the adults world can looks like from a point of view of a child). These two pieces are part of a series of two images that come along on the same photogrpic paper. It asks questions about adults behaviour.
