Lara Rettondini’s work explores the tension in the individual between
self and social interface along with the mechanisms of control that mediate
between the two. She combines both conceptual and aesthetic rigour across
a range of disciplines to investigate the systems that structure and
determine social behaviour, and through the re-contextualization of familiar
objects and situations, invites subtle shifts in meaning. These realignments
suggest hidden possibilities and undermine some of the deep-rooted preconceptions
that frame our relation to reality, while also questioning the viability
of those frameworks.
