Analia Segal

Analia Segal is concerned with re-examining and reshaping the everyday trappings of the home. She has several series displayed on her website, each addressing a different aspect of domestic design. There is one series focused on walls in which she alters wall tiles, a series of carpets where she creates dysfunctional floor mats that introduce the concept of tripping, a series of pencil drawings about architecture, and a series of blinds which explores what we show and what we keep hidden. All of these series focus on altering the design or function of an aspect of architecture or domestic design.

I found the most intriguing to be the walls, as they seem the most aesthetically interesting to me. She states, "A wall is the place where the body entwines with its habitat. It is the arena where sensuality and rationalism coexists." In these installations, she is examining the relationship between one's body and surroundings.  "By manipulating the surface of walls, tiles or carpet, I am transforming the architectural space into a locus for exploration. The fleshy quality they acquire as a result of this interaction reinforces the contrast between the transience of the body and the endurance of architecture. "
