Elfin Luna investigates notions of femininity, sexuality, and materiality of the female condition. Her process involves combining elements of video, performance, and installation, aiming to create an immersive experience for the viewer, whilst placing them within an environment questioning perception of the female body, created through exposure to a juxtaposition of traditionally feminine attributes and visceral imagery.
Her work is heavily influenced by 1970s women’s performance art – both aesthetically and contextually – as she considers methods of subverting male-dominated representations of the female body observed across classic art disciplines. It also builds visually upon object symbolism; the physical objects used each hold their own connotations linking to concepts of purity, fertility, and menstruation.
Through this she plays upon voyeuristic nature, seeking to form an intimate connection between the artist and viewer, and using this as a tool in exploring the symbiotic relationship between the ideal form and the abject body.
