SYNOPSIS :
Selma Köran (*1989) is a Berlin based artist.
Her works explore the mythological realm of narration and examine the state of humanity according to it.
Putting herself in the shoes of a dilletante archeologist, she dissects the body of western narrative in order pastiche and mock the traditional anticipation of archetypological roles within our society.
By deconstructing and re-staging these narratives as chaos, our perspective on the normative and hierarchical is called into question.
Her experimental films are an intersection of the moving image, handmade and animated sculptures placed within a colour-abundant surrealist costume-theater.
