Caryatids (SCR/DIR Nataa Prosenc Stearns, SLOVENIA, 2017, 4:37. Experimental.) A caryatid is an architectural column in the shape of a standing female figure, with the most celebrated found in the Acropolis of Athens. Caryatids represent womens power and endurance, a motif used by artists and architects throughout history. Nataa Prosenc Stearns brings caryatids into our time with silhouettes of women layered against elements of contemporary Los Angeles architecture and progressing from individual figures to archetypal forms to semi-abstract shapes, suggesting androgyny, imperfection, even disfigurement. Once immobile female pillars now beam with turbulence, wind in their hair and clothes.
Made in England (SCR/DIR Sohaila Baluch, UK, 2024. 03:28.) Made in England (SCR/DIR Sohaila Baluch, UK, 2024, 3:28. Experimental Video.) An experimental work exploring the intersections of diaspora, migration, and identity through the lens of cultural aspiration and class. Using symbolic imagery like hands washing rice and replica china, the piece critiques the longing for "Britishness" within South Asian diasporic communities, often rooted in colonial ideals. Archival and contemporary headlines expose the persistent vilification of migrants, linking historical prejudices to ongoing narratives of exclusion. The work interrogates how cultural hierarchies, societal constructs, and the tension between heritage and modernity shape belonging and identity. (New York City premiere)
Medusas (SCR/DIR Nataa Prosenc Stearns, SLOVENIA, 2017. 3:07, Experimental.) Portraits of concrete women who captivate with the intensity of their presence. The squinting eyes, accentuated lips and rich, vibrant hair reveal the metropolitan image of the artist as global citizen, yet this is as far as the author allows us to peek into the intimate. We do not know what these medusas have been through or survived, and yet the artist intertwines the images: they communicate with their looks, voice and hair, and together they create a network.
