About

Phila Primus (* 1991) is a multimedia artist, poet and lyricist from a Czech-German-American background. Currently based in Prague. Through her visual works, she mediates a sense of heightened consciousness, intertwined with biological, temporal, physical, social, linguistic and symbolic orders. The body and consciousness – the consciousness of the body – becomes the starting point for further visual explorations of the unconscious, the force field between freedom and determination, whether genetic, cultural, personal and social. Her work is connected by numerous threads to the tradition of surrealism – contemplative, imaginative and reflective, she moves in the terrain of the unconscious, employing contemplation, imagination and reflection, and lucidly portrays the absurdity of realism.
