Giselle Gorostiaga is a fine art Artist and Designer based in Berlin. Born and raised in the north east of Argentina, in the city of Resistencia, meaning ̈Resistance ̈, a word that crosses her artistic practice. Her childhood surrounded by nature is constantly manifested in her ideas and especially in their materialities: clay, plants fibers, roots, bio plastics, natural resins, recycled metals and industrial discarded pieces, merging both worlds, nature and man-made almost as inseparably dystopic.
Her young work is embedded in a courage that is born from an internal frustration that tries to break through the skin and express the obstructions of being entangled under the structures that tie her to the shackles of her own heritage, seeking to break all the pressures that are exerted on her under late capitalism. Giselle´s work deals with issues that lodge on the relationships that nature maintains between the species of her kingdom, navigating the boundaries of life, dead, human behavior, identity, beauty standars The struggle of an ominous oppressive environment and the psychopathologies that comes with it. It's a genuinely romantic exploration of techno-political yearnings and other critical modes of symbolic engineering that are articulated from the peripheries of power, establishing dialogues between multiple ways of imagining our times.
