About the Item
Unfolding Identity is a painting from the eponymous series by contemporary artist Maria Cohen. The works in the series underwent different stages of deconstruction. Every piece is a documentation of interaction between the artist and the painting. Maria Cohen described the process of making this series: "I hang the piece on a. wall. Then I put it on the floor. I found myself covered into the object. I folded it and unfolded it again and again. I had an idea to deconstruct painting itself to destroy the sense of painting as a thing. Then, I moved forward, I engaged with painting imagining it as a sexual act or a dance. I rolled up myself in the painting like a rolled carpet. I felt stuck there, but safe and warm. This feeling reminded me life in comfort and stability which gives warmth and secureness, but the identical voice inside is annoyingly whispered to release."
The purpose of deconstruction of painting is showing the process of folding and unfolding identity through the exciting erotic engagement between a human being and the painting. Folds like layers symbolized traps through time which no one can impact. It traps itself, but there is only one way to find my voice to keep going unfold identity through the process every day.
