Anna FABRICIUS (1980)
Despite his young age the images of Anna Fabricius were followed a consequent, consciously developed direction, which have already appeared to be succesfull on the important events of important events of the contemporary art.
Anna Fabricius keeps posing the question: to what extent can the individualised human coexist with the contradictory and fragmented nature of their identity, and what might belonging to a group mean to them – simply a game, or the creation of new self-definitions, and towards what bindings does the eternal desire to belong propel us? We live in an age when we always depart from ourselves, and that is where we return, so it may not be incidental that Anna Fabricius observes and explores situations that are relevant to her in her own environment, sometimes a little provocatively, which further verifies the authenticity of the result.
The resulting photographs are fictions on the one hand, but may be considered models of reality on the other. Fiction is essential in both artistic and scientific cognition, as well as in laying the foundations of societies and conceptions of the world. At the same time, non-artistic representation endeavours not to reveal, but, conversely, to conceal its own fictionality, in order to endow its interpretations with an illusion of reality. In Anna Fabricius’s case the behaviour that commits to and accepts the photograph’s constructed nature also means a critical approach to documentarism along with issues of representation.
