DIGITAL REINCARNATION
This series is a new body of digital inkjet prints by Almagul Menlibayeva, multimedia the project, where the artist is composing by using different media, imagery from her video
installations, narratives film sets, painting, felt and fabric from industrial designs and also using digital graphics generators and color pallets from different global industries.
How fabric and threads are shaping the way we think?
They are embodied in the knowledge of native languages, deeply connected to the
body and clothing and the unique worlds of mankind.
When language falls short, clothes might speak.
The artist is expanding the boundaries of our knowledge and imagination, time and
the beauty and the nature of personal feelings, as seen in the planetary networks of the clouds that surround us.
The found objects from her filming sets, digitally imitated and constructed with
materials such as embroidery, ceramics, beads, metal and plastic objects, mixed in ice
or aluminum dust, as reminiscent of cosmic fragments of antique or plastic islands,
invading the earth’s orbit and oceans.
The integration of these different materials, which combine together, in the creation
of a new world deeply recessed in our minds and emotions.
