PORTFOLIO - Ydessa Hendeles, Collector and curator
The singularity of collections exists at the meeting point of the artists’ sensitivities and the collector’s philosophy. In the case of Ydessa Hendeles’s collection, this marriage of viewpoints results in a rich exploration of the pathologies, contradictions, and anxieties of contemporary Western societies.
Projects such as the Teddy Bear project and Predators and Prey investigate familiar items and topics to reveal their underlying nature and suggest original perspectives that force viewers to reconsider their own subjectivity.
