Ana Devora aims to illustrate how reality changes depending on an individual ?s geographical background and social point of view, in contrast with what is shown to us as everyday reality, whether that might be through private life or through the media. The main point to bear in mind for the artist is the interaction between people from both outside and inside the local community, investigating concepts surrounding the absence of communication, she means all that is hidden in the process of the relationship between others. The different points of view that each person has in psychological or geographical terms. The wallls that each person puts in front of themselves, consciously or uncoun- sciously, most often due to fear provoked by a particular situation. Her projects revolve around a psychological open debate which invites the individual to reflect and consider the communication, or indeed lack of communication that exists between individuals. In each project, she follows a specific route between key locations, whereby each stop presents a different scenario in a different location, and each person that she comes across on this journey has the potential to feature as a character in her work. Her aim is to expose everything that the human eye does not normally see, everything that is hidden in each individual, and is never shown or observed, going against everything that we know and everything we are led to believe, a reality that in a certain way, is interpreted in a very objective way which can either seem real or pretend to be real.
In each project, the artist follows a specific route between key locations, whereby each stop presents a different sce- nario in a different location, and each person that she comes across on this journey has the potential to feature as a character in her work.
The project “I am a body in the space”, is a roadtrip shot in Jordan and Egypt in 2013-2014, but instead of showing a video piece the artist shows an interpretation of the route and the state of mind of the character through paintings (walls that we put ourselfs in front of us and represent the 7 vices that always exist in each individual as a part of the opposite meaning (the positive states) and photographies.
This roadtrip that affects to each individual, reflects the meaning of transportation, roads, the buildings’ structure, the Media, the landscapes all thing surround oneself, the memories, bar-codes that show the expiration date of any object , civilitation, thought or even each individual person... All the things that take part in a daily routine and show the 7 vices and their opposites states as part of the individual, as a part of life.
