non-space

about: Rachela Abbate is an Italo-German multimedia artist and cultural producer. She studied philosophy in Germany and Fine Arts in Italy. Her work investigates the significance of architected spaces – in particular, intangible structures in communication or archiving. In her artistic work, which includes photography, installations, videos, and drawings, she explores aesthetic imaginaries, which open up possibilities of reflection and transformation. She is also co-founder and producer of different participatory projects related to social transformation. Further, she is involved in collaborative artistic projects. Her work has been shown extensively internationally.

participation in the non-space should be possible for everyone. In art, we think in a different space which is inserted in the common space and which opens up possibilities of transformation. I define this space in art a non-space: a non-space is a discontinuity of physical and immaterial structures through translation activity in artistic operation. The non-space initiates reflection and alternative mental processes toward awareness and autonomy. In other words, the non-space is an aesthetic reflection on the different social imaginary, creating a momentum of perspective change.
