Every Body is Heavy

    MA Sculpture, 2019

  • Aleks Stanek uses film and object-making to interrogate the power systems behind the ecologies of sentience, extinction and sexuality. Her practice relies on reverse archaeology, where narratives are placed onto a site, and site specificity of augmented reality settings.
