Through her installations, sculptures, and sound works, she creates futuristic narratives in which objects bear witness to past or future actions. Her latest projects explore current technological upheavals through a radical, monumental, and performative formal approach in which opaque feminist fictional narratives and the ambiguity between technology and magic give rise to the emergence of chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
