About

Lera Kelemen’s installation practice reflects on notions of femininity, confinement, body structure, vulnerability & equilibrium. Analysing the limitations of bodies in space, she uses her own body to model and enliven matter. Her works result in conceptually immersive settings where shapes, surfaces and armatures blend together to define new entities.

2024
Corporeus, Thirsty

Underlining an inherent feeling of losing balance, the installation borders uncertainty and paralysis hinting at a broken morphological sequence - organic or otherwise.

2024
Backslit

The backbones attach to each other, like two halves of a prosthetic corset curving against the spine. The claws clench as tension circulates through the lumps. Will it ever let go?

2024
Deadlift

A futile device, a series of impaired limbs reaching up for connection. The hair growing from the cracks turns it into a comforting apparatus.
