Performing (un)expectations<\/em> penduleaz\u0103 \u00eentre conven\u021bii performative \u0219i explor\u0103ri personale – \u00eentre ac\u021biune \u0219i retragere, \u00eentre a performa \u0219i a nu performa. Expune fragilitatea \u0219i absurdul efortului: ciclurile nesf\u00e2r\u0219ite ale transform\u0103rii, repeti\u021biei \u0219i adapt\u0103rii. Reflect\u0103 asupra modurilor \u00een care perform\u0103m munca, sarcinile \u0219i reu\u0219itele \u00een condi\u021bii fluctuante de presiune, previzibilitate, oboseal\u0103 \u0219i m\u0103cinare – acolo unde succesul \u0219i e\u0219ecul se estompeaz\u0103, iar nemi\u0219carea poate fi la fel de \u00eenc\u0103rcat\u0103 ca ac\u021biunea.

*Narrowing Down<\/strong><\/em> se desf\u0103\u0219oar\u0103 prin trei expozi\u021bii, urm\u0103rind parcursul vie\u021bii pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce aceasta se scurge treptat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munca ei este o observa\u021bie continu\u0103 asupra corpului virtual aflat \u00een diverse situa\u021bii de stres, anxietate \u0219i fric\u0103. Scopul ei este s\u0103 investigheze mai departe posibilit\u0103\u021bile \u0219i limit\u0103rile care pun corpul \u2013 real sau digital \u2013 \u00een prim-plan.
Vizualurile sale propun un viitor distopic, \u00een care oamenii trebuie s\u0103 gestioneze emo\u021bii irealizabile, izolare \u0219i dez\u00eencarnare, influen\u021bate de modul \u00een care tehnologia alimenteaz\u0103 dorin\u021ba de consum a umanit\u0103\u021bii.

Lipsa reac\u021biilor reale a f\u0103cut-o s\u0103 cread\u0103 c\u0103 ne \u00eendrept\u0103m spre o \u201eamor\u021bire\u201d a sim\u021burilor \u0219i a personalit\u0103\u021bii. Pe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce petrecem tot mai mult timp c\u0103ut\u00e2nd con\u021binut online, devenim, \u00eentr-o anumit\u0103 m\u0103sur\u0103, asemenea obiectelor din jurul nostru: fixe, nemi\u0219cate, integrate \u00een aparate. Lucr\u0103rile Nicoletei au fost prezentate \u00een festivaluri precum Tour de Moon (2022), Simultan (2022, 2024), Digerati Emergent Media Festival (2023, 2024), ADAF (2024), PAF (2024), \u0219i la t\u00e2rguri de art\u0103 precum Liste Art Fair Basel (2022) \u0219i Viennacontemporary (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aceast\u0103 metod\u0103 duce adesea la proiecte de lung\u0103 durat\u0103, care deschid spa\u021bii pentru \u00eentreb\u0103ri \u0219i propun rupturi \u00een nara\u021biunile liniare. Interesul ei se \u00eendreapt\u0103 c\u0103tre ambiguitatea subiectului \u0219i a contextului acestuia. \u00cen acest spa\u021biu intermediar, creat prin modul de abordare al temelor, lucr\u0103rile sale aduc reflec\u021bii asupra felului \u00een care \u00een\u021belegem lumea, odat\u0103 ce devenim con\u0219tien\u021bi de fragmentarea cunoa\u0219terii noastre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
