Born Out Of Fire
PrincessPea is a Gurgaon based visual and performance artist, her way of critiquing norms of society is through disguising herself into a anima character. While its impossible to live inside the plastic huge head, she finds her comfort in that small element of surprise and teases the senses of audiences, as living human toy. With her latest project she started building her family, Continuing her explorations about her mental space and disconnection from the real world, she would disguise her self as abnormal human, and would live in a prefect Geodesic structure, which is inspired by a utopian dream!
Life: This world of PrincessPea treads a fine line between the world of fairytale and the mundane. The broad scope of art challenges perceptions about our conceived notions of the self. As Princess Pea, the artist presents to the world her alter ego in the form of a 'living doll' an anime style figure that can neither talk, smell nor hear, its a fictional world and she is far away from this world. PrincessPea practice revolves around the ideas of identity, notions of perfection, self worth, the conflict between traditional and contemporary roles of women in Indian society initially through the ever prevalent issues raised by the cult of the celebrity both in India and abroad.
