In her artistic practice, Dorotea Škrabo – Skrabzi tackles the phenomenon of the image on the internet, exploring the intertwining of popular culture, social networks and art.
In her works, we often encounter the appropriation of world-famous scenes from art history. She creates new interpretations and meanings by transferring online content to gallery spaces and spatial interventions. The video collages, which she initially presented to her followers on Instagram, show famous scenes from paintings by the artist David Hockney, in which she places herself and tries to conjure up a carefree, relaxed and light-hearted feeling of summer days by lying down, soaking in the pool, lazing around and reading in the shade.
