Statement

Statement

Bercsek’s work reimagines consumption, using symbols and materials rich in memory and regenerative potential. Through diverse mediums like installation, digital performance, textiles, drawing, and sculpture, she transforms the ordinary into reflections on identity, autonomy, and connection. Central to her practice is the portrayal of women as complex, stereotype-defying figures, with pink creating tension around the paradoxes of human experience. Her commitment to constant change, projections, and overflows shapes her concept of meta-humans—giants who absorb and transform everything in their path. This relentless force drives existence beyond the human, generating a surge of energy akin to a mega power plant. Fantasy, allegory, and delirium allow her to reinterpret cultural codes, offering liberation and disrupting linear thought. Bercsek’s art engages with cycles of repetition, innovation, and obsolescence, exploring the balance of opposing forces. It’s a meditation on resilience, impermanence, and belonging in a world shaped by constant flux and reinvention, urging us to embrace transformation while confronting the complexities that define us.
