“The work of Victoria Verseau is novel and evocative. Still, it also insertsitself in a long tradition of art and photography history that,since at least the 1850s explored images as dreams, nightmares, andaspirations, connecting identity formation to social structures inconscious and unconscious ways. She explores worlds of emotions,ambitions, and lived experiences we have interiorized in Modernitythrough Freud and the likes with whom we have learned to experienceas individualized subjects stream of the interior world. Her artworksactivate unconscious feelings, which render images of suppressedfears and emotions tangible, addressing the vulnerability of dreamlikespaces, juxtapositions of subjects, and imagery. Victoria Verseauexpresses different forms of freedom by guiding us into domestic andintimate aesthetics, opening spaces for demonstrating independenceand imagination in contrast to medical, architectural, and conformiststandards. Her storytelling moves between small towns and urbancenters, ideal spaces of our contemporaneity, and spirals into a greatnetwork of conjunctive disciplines, bodies, and countries.” - Antonio Cataldo, director Fotogalleriet Oslo.
