MARIA KORPORAL

(Holanda - The Netherlands)

MARIA KORPORAL Bwas born 1962 in Sliedrecht, the Netherlands. She studied graphics and painting at the St. Joost Academy of Fine Arts in Breda. During her studies she began working with photography and she graduated with, among other things, a video installation. After her studies, in 1986, she moved to Italy, where she returned to painting. In 1989 she co-founded the Italian publishing house Apeiron Editori, directing the production and book design. In this environment she became involved with the use of computers, and she began applying digital techniques also in her art work. Since 1998 she has dedicated herself to using mainly the new media arts for her expression.

Until 2013 she lived in Italy in Sant'Oreste (RM). Since 2014 she has lived and worked in Berlin.

Maria Korporal's artistic production includes video art, interactive projects, installations, animation and drawing.

Her multimedia work has been designed using a wide variety of techniques. The narrative aspect, both personal and social, plays a major role in her work and, together with the directness of the images and the sounds, leads to a great participation of the viewer. Her interactive installations in particular invite the viewer to participate. In her work she plays with virtuality and reality, with undergone and artificially generated experiences. Most of her projects deal with social and environmental issues, often with an ironic approach.

Her works have been shown and awarded in various exhibitions all over the world.

Synopsis

In the culture of Aboriginal Australians, the long walks in the desert of individuals who undertake the Walkabout* (as mentioned by Bruce Chatwin in "The Songlines", 1987) play an essential role in allowing contact and exchanges of resources (both material and spiritual) between populations separated by enormous distances. In my work, I let myself be guided by the idea of the Aboriginal Australians to see a "territory" not as a determined piece of land, but as a dynamic network of paths, tracks, and songs – so well described by Chatwin..
