Artists Statement:
Ella Burke is a 3D artist from Dublin, Ireland. Taking influence from philosophy, literature and history she creates temporary 3D objects that survive through photo or video documentation. A firm believer of causality, she questions the dogma of society through excessive and impermanent idealistic actions, that are later reincarnated as monuments to something that was.
Burke creates live situations for her audience where her art ‘performs’, though it is through the re-representation of this performance that her work is mainly considered. From this non-space, the work relies on the audience to re-create the physicality of the work in their minds, and in many ways, to contribute to the work either through its destruction, or construction. It is from this non-place that her work comments on our everyday life.
In making work that is semi-permanent, Burke avoids the canonization, and commercialism that weighs upon Western Art. Burke recently spent 3 months in Tallinn, Estonia investigating the creation of new, pedagogical ideas of contemporariness in Eastern Europe.
