Tania Bacum /Ucrania /Ukraine
Es un proyecto en el que Tania explora el cuerpo humano como una forma escultórica desprovista de identidad personal. Investiga los límites de la forma física y su percepción. El cuerpo pierde sus rasgos personales y se transforma en una forma pura, que no pertenece a una persona específica. Tania coloca los cuerpos en un entorno natural, donde se produce un diálogo entre la desnudez y las texturas y formas naturales. El proyecto combina la fotografía y la performance, siendo el medio principal la cianotipia sobre vidrio. Esta técnica le permite a Tania crear imágenes del cuerpo humano que se vuelven más abstractas y, a veces, casi irreconocibles. La creación de las obras para la exposición fue financiada por la Beca Cultural 2024 de la Ciudad de Gdansk, Polonia, para Personas Naturales.
Tania Bakum
Es una artista multidisciplinaria de Pereyaslav, Ucrania (1989), que trabaja entre dos países: Polonia y Ucrania. En su práctica, utiliza fotografía analógica, performances, textiles y técnicas de impresión alternativas. Su trabajo está estrechamente relacionado con la exploración de la memoria personal y colectiva, el trauma intergeneracional y los tabúes sociales. Tania Bakum opera en la intersección de técnicas tradicionales e innovadoras, con el objetivo de expresar estados emocionales complejos a través de formas visuales. Su proceso creativo se centra en la experimentación con materiales, su destrucción y transformación. Los métodos de la artista son similares a las prácticas ritualísticas. En sus performances, a menudo se refiere a la fragilidad, delicadeza y simbolismo de materiales como textiles, vidrio, tierra, leche y otros. Esto ayuda a crear instalaciones conceptuales que reflejan la complejidad y la multiplicidad de los contextos culturales e históricos que explora. Ha presentado sus obras y performances en exposiciones individuales y grupales en Europa. Además de su trabajo expositivo, Tania Bakum tiene una amplia experiencia docente, que incluye la realización de talleres en la Escuela de Fotografía de Kiev y en varias instituciones culturales de Gdansk y Kiev. En 2024, fue co-curadora de la Residencia Artística del Puerto en la Fundación MEWKA Bartosh Zimniak en Polonia.
BodyNotbody
Is a project in which Tania explores the human body as a sculptural form devoid of personal identity. She investigates the boundaries of physical form and its perception. The body loses its personal traits and transforms into a pure form, which does not belong to a specific person. Tania places the bodies in a natural environment, where a dialogue takes place between the nudity and the natural textures and forms. The project combines photography, performance with the main medium being cyanotype on glass. This technique allows Tania to create the images of the human body that become more abstract and sometimes nearly unrecognizable. The creation of the works for the exhibition was funded by the 2024 Cultural Scholarship of the City of Gdańsk for individuals.
