Anna Perach @ Edel Assanti

Anna Perach works with an intricate tufting technique to create wearable sculptures and wall-based objects, informed by Slavic folklore, mythologies, fairy tales and psychoanalytic theory in her exhibition Spidora. Her sculptures function both as garments that are performed in as well as autonomous works. Through a distinctive medium that bears resemblance to carpet textiles, Perach considers the domestic sphere and how it operates as an extension of the individual, reflecting on personal heritage and gender roles. Her performances reverse this dynamic and exhibit the private domestic carpet as an external masquerade, simultaneously exposing and concealing fragments of the self.
