Helene Nymann Artist Denmark Artist in Residence Centro Selva Arte y Ciencia 2018 Exhibition ICPNA Pucallpa Gallery August 18, 2018 Hola. Soy Helene Nymann, de Copenhague. Es mi primera vez en el Perú y en Centro Selva. Hice esta pieza porque estaba muy inspirada, por supuesto, en la naturaleza y el ambiente, pero también estuve pensando más en la memoria en la naturaleza y los diferentes sistemas por los que recordamos, que es a menudo el eje de mi trabajo.

It represents the rainforest woman. And here you can also see another piece, on a support made of plywood (also called “trupan”), also worked on cold pottery.  As we can see, we have a female face with an orchid and a humming bird, that represents the forests. The flower and the woman that makes a union and the humming bird with the flower. And here is a piece we worked on at Centro Selva. With organic recycling, with branches and v

Foto by Annika Kappner Annika Kappner (1980 Berlin, DE) explores possibilities of sensory composition combining painting, installation, sculpture, sound, and performance. Her work is interested in the evolution of consciousness, the shifting perception of (self) image in relation to mental patterns and the underlying forces that shape their systemic counterparts in nature, visual arts, technology, and science. She seeks to add experiential perspectives to the contemporary relation between human, nature, and technology; addressing concepts of non-duality and otherness, to explore alternatives to the capitalist, exploitative structures of thinking and being. Her work has been presented, among others, at Kunstfort Vijfhuizen (NL), Marres House for Contemporary Art Maastricht (NL), National Museum of Natural History, Menton (FR), Wallace Museum (UK), Victoria and Albert Museum (UK) and Brian Morris Gallery (NY).
