WORK

Ina Otzkos oeuvre presents contemplations on the human condition and behaviour and is influenced by philosophy and mysticism – particularly in context to time and space and her personal search for spiritual and emotional transformation. Her inspiration is drawn from her extensive journeys set against research of mankind’s encounter with time. Through practical and theoretical processes she investigates the complexity between memory and experience, reality and representation, human behaviour and spiritual ecology. She moves between employing analogue and digital technology, an exchange which offers alternative ways of reflecting upon time and the juxtaposition of our (dis)connected existence. Her current projects explore questions regarding relationships, identity and ownership of the natural landscape and body, matters of borders and the space between.
