About me
Short Bio | Being ceaselessly inspired by deception, Letta looks for the origins of the real and the artifice, exploring the fine line between truth and myth-making. As a method, Letta employs speculative investigations, storytelling, sci-fi, using new media, sculpture, video games, commercial goods and imagery. In her work, she investigates the interconnected relationship between the physical and digital realm, post-human thought, and the future. She engages with layers of “reality” that are at odds with each other as well as investigates social constructs and paradoxes. Often her research-based practice can be found combining the historical and the contemporary looking for the interrelation between the current technology and the early (pre)industrial practices. Letta’s work also explores gender constructs and gender representation, as part of her identity is being a full-time woman. |
