Elisabeth Ajtay Art

@treatgallery Elisabeth Ajtay - Untitled (Foreign Angst), from the Dialog (Dialogue) series, 2018, unique photogram, 20x16 The torn, reassembled, sculptural photograms she creates are based on sketches of migrational patters of humans’ movement. The abstracted images examine limiting/inhibiting, as well as connecting/unifying aspects of language within inter-personal/national exchange. Born and raised behind the iron curtain and growing up in Western Germany, Elisabeth Ajta...y is a conceptual artist primarily working in photography. Her work reflects and questions western culture on a psychological level with themes related to advertising, technology and the notion of home. Her multi-facetted practice is a reflection on her translation from growing up in, and, constantly moving between two different systems.

This is the print version of my installation! Which I came to an understanding with myself that it will work as such only. I explored many different constellations of the conversation between nature and the human struggle. The prints are available at Soho Photo.

Working with paper and collage again... #wip

San Francisco 2017 I call this one. Prior to this self-portrait I was thinking that I don't have a skull to make my randomly continuous self portrait. But alas, then I walk past this golden piggy bank skull one day, at a garage sale. I pick it up. This is how a portrait of me but also SF at the peak of the tech boom. Now, post-Covid, Sf has become a ghost town, culturally ruined. The only good thing about Covid is that it put a halt to capitalism. Now it is actually affordable to live again. Not sure for how long, before max. growth is fueled by max. greed again. I’m working on a diptych with more of these images.

Very happy and humbled to have been shortlisted for the Fall 2020 Hopper Prize. Curated by Christine Koppes, Curator & Director of Public Programs, San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art & Jade Powers, Assistant Curator, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art
