Artist Statement:
2011 STATEMENT:
Irene Caesar, Ph.D. is a
conceptual artist-provocateur
who creates ideological and
aesthetic subversions via
absurd performances documented
by photography to put to the
test major concepts of human
civilization. She bases her
aesthetics upon staging
role-games, which express some
concept in a metaphorical,
symbolic or aphoristic way via
making participants interact
with some symbolic object or
prop, with themselves, or
between each other in some
very intense or boundary
situations – all thoroughly
absurd and pushing
participants out of the
ordinary or acceptable way of
behavior toward revelatory
experience. This makes her
staged photography very
different from the other
staged photography, even the
one, which is dynamic, rather
than static. Role-games she
produces always engage herself
into close interaction with
the participants of her
performances – via verbal and
energy-field communication, as
if she stands not behind the
camera, but in front of the
camera. Her recent projects
include "A New History of
Ideas in Pictures," "Counter
Portraits," "People of Art as
Objects of Art," and
“Dissent.” “Dissent”
represents portraits of
dissidents in the style of
dissent, including such
renowned Soviet-era dissidents
as Elena Bonner, Pavel
Litvinov, Alexander
Esenin-Volpin, Andrey
Grigorenko, Father Michael...
