Biography

Nona Inescu’s interdisciplinary practice encompasses photography, installation, sculpture, and video. Grounded in theoretical and literary inquiry, her work investigates the dynamic relationship between the human body and its environment, reinterpreted through a post-human lens. The body emerges as a mediator, serving as a conduit for translating the world through affect and positioning itself as an interface between individual perception and external reality. Her work reflects on geological time and humanity’s profound interconnectedness with the surrounding environment, crafting an aesthetic that captures a primal yet contemporary sense of coexistence. This interplay unfolds within an organic, biological techno-sphere, where natural and technological elements intertwine to redefine notions of presence and identity.

With a thoughtful and unfiltered approach, she broadens her exploration of nature to encompass wider environmental concerns, emphasizing the vulnerability and interconnectedness of all living beings within a shifting ecosystem. ...
