Dafna Maimon

Dafna Maimon

Dafna Maimon’s work can be described as a series of rebellious emotional landscapes; something they depict, but also something that they are. Her artistic practice is concerned with the reordering of social codes under capitalist consumption in order to re-channel the agency of the individual toward autonomy and to demand a space for closure. Maimon’s work, in particular, deconstructs patriarchal structures and plays with them through exaggeration, substitution, re-contextualization and humor, allowing individuals to find new ways to make the most of their lives and sense of self.
