Nathalie Djurberg

NATHALIE DJURBERG-1.jpg

Currently on view at Zach Feuer Gallery in Manhattan is an exhibition featuring recent work by the Swedish-born, Berlin-based artist Nathalie Djurberg. Using a variety of media including stop motion animation, installation, sculpture and drawing, the artist constructs dark narratives that investigate human behavior through nightmares and fears. Without much restraint, these narratives open a dialogue addressing violence, dominance, gluttony, racism and sex. In her new exhibition with Zach Feuer, Djurberg presents the video I found myself alone, featuring a young ballerina climbing through a large table set for tea. The impeccably constructed set contains an array of desserts that the dancer destroys, eventually ending in her demise. Contents of the video are presented throughout the gallery as both sculptural objects and installation.
