ART IN PROCESS projects bello benischauer - art projects & my own artistic work eitelberger@artinprocess.com Leila on the Beach, 2007 a new series - puppets made of collected material - individual beaches around Australia /photographs, puppets remain on the beach my work philosophy ACROSS THE BORDER: BODY ˆ OBJECT ˆ MEDIA ˆ SPACE My special interest is the polarity between mankind and the artistically formed material - the object, starting from primitive archaic and ritual art forms of expression. That‚s how I develop real and virtual collages, which are created through the elements: BODY, OBJECT, MEDIA and SPACE using various techniques and medias. I try to design a „documentary package‰ for the audience. ART IN PROCESS orientates its general work to the word <emballage>, which basically used for theatre terms in relation to object theatre, meaning „the wrapping or surrounding of a thing‰. The main focus is the idea of the synthesis of the arts in relation to a contemporary theme. Already existing art forms connect; time terms get redefined; space opens up for new forms of experience... My work is a confrontation with myself as a woman, as woman of Western Society, as woman within. Masks, costumes, reflecting on different society-masks of women - based on self-observations and portrayals, which have multiple faces that develop in the working process a certain kind of work. My work does not reduce the female aspect to be sexual related and therefore reduced in its meaning, it is more the female and its powerful forces that are interesting for me to investigate.

Masken, Verkleidung (Kostümierung) reflektieren die Gesellschaftsmaske der Frau ˆ gestützt auf eine Selbstanalyse und ˆdarstellung, die viele Gesichter hat und sich im Prozess entwickelt. Das Frauliche als Stärke bezieht sich in meiner Arbeit nicht auf sexuell herabgeminderte Werte, sondern auf das Frauliche in der Rolle als Mutter, in der als Kämpferin und Hüterin des Lebens, als Bergende und Tröstende und vor allem in der aus sich heraus zu ungeahnter Größe Heranwachsenden. play within a film: self-esteem, the beautiful and the eccentric 2006/07 curriculum vitae PREVIOUS EXHIBITIONS/INSTALLATIONS Maybe It´s Only Imagine | signs of existence | performance act | beautylife | INSTALLATION | social projects
