BIO:
Viola Rama is a visual artist with a background in fine art, photography, and graphic design. She works with a multidisciplinary approach, exploring themes of femininity, identity, and posthumanism. Often using humor as a tool for social commentary, she deconstructs and reinvents the human appearance, creating a hyper-reality in which the corporal body is used to analyze the interconnections between the natural and the artificial. Through her practice she satirizes the desire for perfection and the fascination with technology in the contemporary world, while touching upon the discomfort elicited by the uncanny.
