Artist's statement

 

I am Lady Gaby, a performance/visual artist & curator, who finds artistic inspiration in my surroundings. Provocative, in-your-face performances dealing with feminism and social justice, I  create installations/works with feminine, common every day objects, recycled materials, words and street art. Via Romania/Australia and since the fall of the Wall, Berlin is where I found my feet, my ideals and performance power to go against the flow and the patriarchial system. I graced the stages of many international cities as a performer & curator.

 

I am, Lady Gaby  a performer, the hostess with the mostess, a writer and event organiser.
My words make up my mind about the world around me. i like my performances to be provocative and express my daily life, the encounters with others and my surroundings. ‘Gaby, dressed in purple and green, takes the microphone and with her words takes over everybody souls. Words of truth, love, society, anger and values. Eyes of life.’ I love to interact with my audience and i use them as my props, as my allies in the performances. I share as much with them as i take from them.
I  turn MY spoken words into interactive, in- your-face performance accompanied by beats, projections and costumes. a ‘Sexy and Powerful show’. i turn my feminine products, my sex tools, and other appliance objects into noise making instruments. i turn my costumes into DADA collages, made up of recycled materials as well as beauty and kitchen products. i want to show that all typical tools of a woman can have another meaning, beauty and usage.
