Oya:
artist-in-residence

What governs our dai­ly lives? Oya’s work ques­ti­ons our eve­ry­day gestu­res. Everyday objects are mani­pu­la­ted and trans­for­med. Through the trans­gres­si­on of their ordi­na­ry jobs, Oya deter­mi­nes a suc­ces­si­on of repe­a­ted expe­rien­ces and acti­ons fol­lo­wing pre­ci­se pro­to­cols. Each ques­ti­on posed in the work is also a ques­ti­on posed to the vie­wer. Is the real absurd? Where does the truth lie? Where can poe­try inter­fe­re? Where is the danger?
