D6: culture in transit

​Cyane Tornatzky

Inspired by her previous research on Robert Owen’s New Lanark Mill in South Lanarkshire, Cyane Tornatzky examined the lives and working conditions of historical and contemporary female textile workers during her residency at D6. She looked for present-day corollaries to the disenfranchised of the historic Luddite movement. The historical/contemporary duality of the subject matter was underscored through the use of old and new medias in the construction of her work. Examples of old technologies include: camera obscura; stereoscopes; mutoscopes, new technologies include digital fabrication techniques coupled with video projection.

Conceptually Tornatzky's work centres around explorations of gender and female socio-political identities. To provide a closer look a the true nature of her subject’s experience, Tornatzky often inhabits her subjects worlds through performance – courting bathos as a tool to reveal the underpinnings of our cultural interactions. The output of her work utilises hybridised technologies that combine old and new.
