REINCARNATION - MUNKHTSETSEG Jalkhaajav

09 - 14 May, 2018
Red Ger Art Gallery

Upon entering to the darkened gallery a deep red tone is laid out all over the space, conjuring neon atmosphere of flesh and blood. Works and mediums have shown her ever progressing ability and attitude. How Munkhtsetseg used darkness, colorful light sources and dim lighting in this show to trigger bodily unease and defensive reflexes is very impressive. Intended or not, the relationship with the work is dominated by sentiment. The show is shortly open to public from 09-14 May.    
Words such as "HEALING" and "REBIRTH" and "REINCARNATION" are the key words to enter my world. Through my work I try to engage with our constant ambition of searching for your inner self and attempts of creating yourself by the idea of "becoming wholesome". The concept I have toward a woman's body and mindfulness is very much inspired by the Mongolian traditional medical approaches and spiritual healing. In traditional meditation bird represents the pulse of human vein, whereas in my work, birds represent pulse of life, pregnancy, healing or protection. I created human-bird character that is half woman and half crow, named keeper of the womb. Through this i want to show, how a mother is able to stretch her body and transform her body in order to love her baby. Therefore woman is more tied to life by keeping balanced life, in other words healing life. For me the process of creating the collage figures using hand torn paper and making sculpture by sewing pieces of stretch fabric are an act of trying to create wholesomeness by putting together separate pieces, like repairing.
