Abstract
Trapping is a secondary hunting technology, the objects associated with it are not designed for aesthetic purposes, they are entirely functional. However, these ephemeral structures are sites of transformative encounters, portals linking humans to animals, technology to landscape, and death to life. They are also ambivalent in their perception, as they can be seen both as devices that avoid personal confrontation and insidiously delegate human actions, and as early automatons, the precursors of emancipatory technological leaps. The trap as a dimension gate that snatches things out and changes them forever has a very diverse metaphorical magnitude associated with it, which we will try to explore as broadly as possible in my workshop, through a consensual selection of media.
Author
Dominika Trapp (1988, Budapest) graduated from the painting department of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2012. Her practice has been characterized by a two-way interest: on the one hand, a sensitive painterly approach that allows for intuition and introspection; and, on the other hand, an outward-directed sensitivity that facilitates dialogues between communities in the service of collective self-knowledge. Her works often address topics such as the relationship between tradition and contemporary culture, women’s fate in traditional Hungarian peasant communities, the historical context of eating disorders, or painting as a possible somatic method for artistic research. More recently, she has participated in the residency programs of Art in General in New York, the Erste Stiftung in Vienna, and FUTURA in Prague. In 2020, her solo exhibition was presented at Trafó Gallery in Budapest and at Karlin Studios in Prague. In 2021, she participated at the 14th Baltic Triennial in Vilnius and in 2022, at the Manifesta 14 Prishtina. She is currently a multimedia art fellow at the Doctoral School of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design.
