Celtic paravent
2020
Printed text and acrylic paint on wooden panels (1.20 x 2.40)
A paravent is a folding screen which's function is to shield something intimate from the public gaze. Here the visual text represents the discourse with my psychoanalyst replacing the spoken one taking place during the sessions. While reading the text something of the my division glides through the metonymy of speech/ writing - in between the violent accusations or erotic fantasies, in the endless repetitions about suffering caused by the Other. The continuous flow of the discourse without punctuation refers to the literary style of 'stream of consciousness`, a technique applied in psychoanalysis.

Installation
Mediums : clay, plaster, acrylic
37 x 31 x 26 cm
20 uniquely painted round plaster heads, all equal in size and shape are sitting on the floor in the gallery or exhibition space. The original was modelled in clay by the artist according to the image of the Star Wars figure Jabba-the-Hutt, the slug like monster-alien. Trumpf’s head is sitting on a white round pedestal, above the heads, which represent the ‘folks’. Behind his head is a sculpture, showing his ‘other face’, his alter ego.
The painted images on each head represent the visual transmission of a particular story, the projected scrolling text above the heads tells the complete one, word-by-word quoted from publicly held speeches or Twitter posts.
Particular signifiers loaded with meaning have been selected from these speeches in order to be transmitted into images, e.g. snake, wall, global warming, Pershing and pigs blood, father Fred and Ku Klux Klan, black and white, wealthy and poor, Rocket Man, sexual harassment, school shootings and God... - all chosen in order to enlighten the effects they have on the collective unconscious or in other words, how they amplify the mass-hysteria affect.
In the film Zizi Rincolisky transmits Trump’s original words in projected, scrolling text. The viewer can find the particular head in the exhibition space, whose painted image corresponds to the text on the wall.

Self Portrait
2020
Printed Text and Acrylic Paint on Dibond Aluminium ( 1.20 x 2.40)
The printed text on the Dibond Aluminium panel represents the ongoing dialogue between the I and the Other, metaphor for Zizi Rincolisky and her psychoanalyst. The text ( also printed separately on A4 parchment papers) reveals something of what the philosopher and psychiatrist Jacques Lacan calls 'la langue' to the viewer/reader, an individual speech, that through the lack of punctuation appears like a manic discourse. The painted image is a collage consisting of a figure from the Book of Kells and the portrait of the artist as a child. The oversized distorted mouth in addition to the images of the Celtic fantasy figure are supposed to transmit something of the oral drive, the desire to limitless devour scenery, food, love, money...
