  DIVA este femeia fara varsta, femeia comuna. Ea considera ritualul cosmetizarii propriei imagini o practica fireasca pe care o include in mecanismul aglomerat al existentei zilnice. Actiuni utile si inutile tatueaza epiderma fiintei noastre imersata in centrifuga citadinului. Ne cautam identitatea. Tanjim dupa momentul de pauza.

Lucrarea media DIVA consta intr-un monitor pe ecranul caruia se poate citi, intr-o nota austera / ironica, un slogan THE MOST I LIKE IS DOING NOTHING. Imagini din RITUALUL COSMETIZARII prezinta in loop o miscare repetitiva de gimnastica care sugereaza travaliul, rutina, up and down-ul nostru zilnic.
Paradoxul rezulta din intentia de a te opri, explicit pronuntata in slogan, si imposibilitatea de a o face.

DIVA is the ageless woman, the ordinary woman. She considers the ritual of her self-image cosmetization a natural practice which she includes in the every day crowded mechanism of existence. Useful and useless actions tattoo the epidermis of our being immersed into the urban centrifuge. We are searching for our identity. We crave for a break.

THE MOST I LIKE IS DOING NOTHING is Diva's slogan in an ironic, austere manner. The Ritual of Cosmetization presents in a loop a repetitive gymnastic motion that suggests labor, routine, and our daily ups and downs.
The paradox comes from the intention of stopping, clearly specified in the slogan, and the impossibility of doing so.
