Tamara Kametani — Shrine

Tamara Kametani’s work responds to current social topics and critically (and ironically) incorporates a certain amount of absurdity into various themes that cover politics, migration and its management, power, different forms of oversight and control in both the digital and real worlds, excessive growth and proliferation of new technologies that form us and shape our perception of reality. She demonstrates how the global economy of inequality, created with the help of these technologies, segregates the privileged from the ones without power. Her current interests, based on the pandemic times, have shifted toward the phenomenon of conspiracy theories and speculations and their effect on our society. Her program is open and gives the viewer an opportunity to come to their own interpretations and solutions to the given problems. She also incorporates a wide spectrum of media, including video, photography, installation, sculpture, but also web design and various digital formats and applications used for “mapping”. The exhibition at Nitra Gallery will reflect upon her current interest in the topic of conspiracy theories in the context of a dystopian future of the world.
