Kawita Vatanajyankur is a media and performance artist whose practice examines the slippage between the human manual labor and the machines. In her performative work, she transforms herself into hybrid machine and organism, like a cyborg, and puts her body into arduous positions with repetitive actions. Her work signifies the exploitations, oppression, physical endurance and violence within the hidden background of modern labor in the world of fast consumption. In her works, she usually becomes a site of tension for the struggle of human existence against becoming a simple cog within a machine. Her performative oscillation of human and machine is suggestive of the possibilities of human evolution and transformation.
