Heroinat by Ana Čigon
Ana Čigon, Heroinat (Pristina, 2015), still

In her videos, which are sometimes made in conjunction with other authors, Ana Čigon raises questions about the historicization and underrepresentation of female artists and other important female figures and their work in the public sphere. In some videos, she expands her exploration of the underrepresentation into other invisible and ignored social groups. Through her work she also encourages reflection on how narrow group of people ever have privileged access to representation in the form of public monuments and other canonised cultural creations.

Heroinat by Ana Čigon
Ana Čigon, Heroinat (Priština, 2015), izsek iz videa

Ana Čigon v svojih videih, ki občasno nastajajo v sodelovanju z drugimi avtoricami, odpira vprašanja o zgodovinjenju in reprezentaciji umetnic in drugih pomembnih ženskih osebnosti ter njihovega dela v javnem spominu. V nekaterih videih problematiko premajhne javne zastopanosti žensk širi tudi na področja drugih nevidnih in neupoštevanih družbenih skupin. Skozi dela tudi spodbuja refleksijo o tem, kako ozka skupina prebivalstva sploh ima privilegij reprezentacije v obliki javnih spomenikov in v drugih kanoniziranih kulturnih stvaritev.

O umetnici

Ana ČigonAna Čigon je na ljubljanski Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje zaključila dodiplomski študij slikarstva in podiplomski študij videa. Končala je tudi magistrski študij Interface Cultuers na Kunstuniversitaet Linz v Avstriji. Deluje pretežno na področju videa, performansa in novih medijev. V svojih zadnjih umetniških projektih se ukvarja s feminističnimi tematikami, predvsem z vprašanjem podreprezentiranosti umetnic v umetnostni zgodovini in teoriji, podreprezentiranostjo žensk v javnih spomenikih in s pomenom problematiziranja vzorcev zgodovinjenja umetnosti.
