Maria Yelletisch’s work transforms the aesthetic order of the places she inhabits, the experiences she arouses and the memories she craves to show alternative models of the configuration of the visible.
Through the relationship between her artwork and the viewer, she looks into the nature of the individual memory across the devices that transform the individual memory into the collective one. Her work questions the nature of the objects and its images, and only after the process of questioning, she starts working on the inner layers and structures of the objects, the parts that are protected and hidden.
Maria Yelletisch traces by means of the language of affection and the rhetoric of appearance, an emotional cartography of the places we build, we cross or we abandon to recover a lost root.
A personal proposal that shows the interior and the inside as a landscape. A game of opposites and tautness, interiors and exteriors that seek and build heterogeneous shelters in common places where relationship nets of memory are woven.
