Petra Feriancova Creator is a subtle work about generation and appropriation, about the human need to manipulate nature, beauty and life. This archive belonged to the artist s ornithologist grandfather who, between 1948 and 1962 worked with other breeders from Eastern Europe and Russia on the creation of new species of pigeons. This collection of 85 original images is the result of their experiments and outcomes. Each image is the evidence of an improvement or a mistake, each one with annotated measurements, dates and comments on the developments of the tests.

About author:

Petra Feriancova born in Bratislava, former czechoslovakia in 77, works in the intentions of post-production. The key moment of her work is the conceptualisation of her own emotional reactions to the processes of perception and memory as well as examination of the conditions of their sharing. She works mostly with already made pictures, texts, archives which she interprets and methodically interchanges. The main aim of the manipulation with a reference, pictorial or discursive, is to provide a spectator with the original affective reaction to it. www.petraferiancova.com
