The performative practice of Italian artist Chiara Fumai belongs to the tradition of female psychics, who are 'spoken by' different controversial entities. Entities which the artist freely (mis)interprets and combines into new stories, while questioning their symbolic meaning and representation in the mind of the viewer. Dealing with radical feminism, media culture, language and repression, Fumai's starting point is performance, later transformed into installations, videos, collages and performative displays.
In occasion of her guided tours of Le mur exhibition, the performer will channel the ghost of a well-known German terrorist.
