Simona Koutná

In this work, I delve on the topic of female representation in a collage of my own and borrowed images. In the language of cliché pop songs, I sought a narrative of fictitious bonds between ‘a girl‘ and ‘the world’. The flourishing-style succession of snippets, somewhere between documentary and fiction, continually renews the position of the subject, mediating spectatorship with performativity. By using recordings of YouTube videos on iPhone and LED screens, I attempted to frame a proposition of ambiguity of control—where amateur and professional content coexist in symbiosis: a feedback loop where one view informs and promotes the other.
