Irena Khovanets

Her life was linked with creativity since early years by writing, creating collages and directing. Irena decided to devote herself to performance art.
She creates collages using only vintage magazines from 50-70 years. Collages essentially are hand made using only scissors, glue, photos and artist’s creativity. Sharp and provocative topics are the basis of collages’ meaning. Each creation has its own story, because they speak with the audience, almost like a movie. But in this case viewer is the director, because artist allows him to decide the fate of the collage’s characters. Modern tragedies and social problems are depicted with symbolic language.
Highest goal of the artist is to show the audience that the feelings that we express outside of us do not always correspond to the internal state of being. It is a shell that was created under the impact of the system, religions and society. The artist is telling the stories of those who exist under this influence and those who suffer from it.
Collage is mortal, like us.
The philosophy of being cut from the pages of magazines.
