Dana Sederowsky works with video performance and photography. As an artist she works solely with herself and her own body. It is her determined choice to be autonomous and solitary. Her video performance work is based on her own manuscripts, which are generated in automatic response to current issues. These pieces contain a fusion of unsettling issues regarding personal life-choices, combined with universal existential questions that we experience in everyday life, for example via media channels.

Dana Sederowsky has been concentrating on two ongoing projects: Dana Aid, started in 1998 and Special Announcements, started in 2006. These projects revolve around Sederowsky´s current questioning of authorities and autocratic ways: the identification of proclaimers of truths and their (non-)reliability as proclaimers of truth. Questioning the fundaments for rational “truth” is Sederowsky´s evergoing mission. She challenges both the way in which the producer presents her/himself in relation to the recipient, as well as the role of language and the performance of language communication via media.
She questions why we refrain from taking responsibility.
Sederowsky is the writer of the texts, the actor performing them and the director of the camera.
