Self-made mechanized grooming artefacts assembeled by the fearless creator, little Marta are turning daily ordinary rutines into extraordinary rituals and offering a life of one's own.

Artefacts: Personal objects. Instalation.

The project is a voyeuristic intimate journey into little Marta’s life. Through little alterations of gathered found materials she creates little inventions that turn an ordinary routine into an extraordinary ritual. In doing this, she creates a space to feel free, loved and accepted. The work speaks about creativity, about curiosity, the freedom of imagination and the liberty of living on our own terms. It’s about a perspective of life, a re-consideration of the ordinary and the normal. A world of fantasy which as well tackles the questions of luxury, self-made and re-used, re-purposed. Luxury which is described as a refinement of living, a pleasure out of the ordinary allowed to oneself, or even, quoting V&A’s exhibition ‘What is luxury? – “having the potential to unlock dreams of being somewhere or someone else, luxury exist at the boundaries of daily routines and systems but relies on notions of breaking out”. It’s the freedom of imagination and the liberty of making the world on our terms and use the things around us in a more resourceful and meaningful way.
