Dana Sederowsky works with video performance, photography and text, often extensive handwritten texts covering large wall areas.
The artist explores various dimensions of the human condition, often with a tinge of the absurd. Focusing on human psychology, the use of language, and the apparent meaninglessness of life, she employs repetition and repeated motifs as her means of expression and method. She explores language not simply as a mode of communication but also as a poetic and formal device. Sederowsky’s art is always meticulously planned and controlled by a conceptual system of regulations. She carries out her tasks solely on her own, autonomously active both in front of and behind the camera. Her repetitive praxis and studies of time constantly realizes itself in new variations at the same time that the “original model” is deconstructed. She acts as a symbol for humanity and, thus, she plays a role. To that one must add the demand for flexibility that working alone entails, in which tasks follow each other and are mixed together. Creating art becomes, in her case, equivalent to undergoing a metamorphosis.
Dana Sederowsky was born in 1975 in Helsingborg. She received a BFA in photography from the Högskolan för Fotografi in 1999 and an MFA from the University of Gothenburg, Valand Academy of Arts, in 2006. She has exhibited nationally in solo exhibitions, for example at the Dunkers kulturhus in Helsingborg, Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg, the Fotografiska Stockholm, and Göteborgs Konsthall, as well as internationally in numerous group exhibitions, including at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Ekaterinburg and Moscow, and at the L.A. International Art Biennal, Los Angeles. In 2004 Sederowsky received a stipend from the Hasselblad Foundation to Villa San Michele on Capri, Italy.
