T-E-S-L-A- face, T-E-S-L-A- crash, T-E-S-L-A- crash face dummy I, 2023-24

Melbourne-based Frankovich works at the intersection of sculpture, performance, and installation. Her practice explores tensions between the primal instincts of the human body and the rapid transformations in technology, society, and the environment. She investigates how the body’s physicality and behaviours function within social structures, while engaging with power dynamics and the shifting relationship between audience and performer.
