Melanie Bonajo’s photographs, videos, installations and performances question current belief systems by confronting their mechanical vision of the world with an artificial universe or substituted realities. To do so, the artist combines various mental patterns inspired by religion, anthropology, mythology, intuitive behaviour, sociological experiments and her own experiences. Bonajo works with fictive interventions, blending seemingly antagonistic elements into the everyday and ordinary. These elements often follow their own logic and function as symbolic interfaces of confused mystical ideas, emotional patterns and states of mind lying under the thin surface of consciousness that governs our daily existence.
