Ser Serpas
Details
Description
The artwork depicts an old, vintage vanity unit with a mirror and various decorative items and bottles arranged on its surface. The overall composition features a warm, earthy color palette with a rustic, weathered aesthetic. The vanity itself appears to be made of dark, weathered wood, adding to the sense of age and history. The mirror in the center serves as the focal point, framed by the wooden structure.

Ser Serpas
B.1995Ser Serpas’s practice exists at the blurred intersection of art, poetry and activism. Whether creating sculptures from debris found on the street, working with a hoard of fabric gifted by her friends, making an exhibition out of objects she found at the exhibition site, drawing in public spaces, or writing on train rides, Serpas makes work that complicates the notion of materiality amidst the late-capitalist condition. Created in private, intimate, seemingly improvised moments, the works are never fully -visible to her audiences. The artist’s exhibitions are composed of assemblages of discarded and mistreated objects turned corporeal, becoming what the artist calls ‘assisted readymades’.
