Kiki Seror’s works are rooted in the exchanges that take place on the internet in adult chat lines, where Seror assumes different identities and plays with female and male characters. She exists in this domain as artist and subject. The six works in her first solo exhibition are made from these intimate dialogues. With the use of 3d software and motion graphics programs, Seror animates these transcripts. The resulting images are automated landscapes: an accumulation of “stills” in virtual space. In these fields of text, she depicts a space for a post-body world. Six light boxes are luminous digital Duratrans, and there is one digital animation to be viewed with Sony Glasstrons, with a soundtrack designed by Arlen Smith.
An illustrated catalogue (No.11), with text by Rachel Greene, will be available during the first week of April.
Seror is a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, and received an MFA in 1999 from the Columbia University School of the Arts. She was born in Chicago in 1970, and lived in Nice, France until 1980. She lives and works in New York.
