"Certain images have an interior, they are experienced from the inside. They are subjects, there is a gap between the action upon these images and the reaction they produce. The gap allows them to store other images, that is, to perceive." Gilles Deleuze, Trois questions sur Six fois deux, Cahiers du Cinéma, 271 (novembar 1976)
Fere’s artistic practice is based on collage as a method of thinking, research, and meaning-making. She works with free, used, and discarded materials—such
as leftover stickers, hobbyist decorative papers, color charts, and advertisements for administration, industry, hygiene, and electricity—treating them as an informal archive of contemporary
life. Through a stream-of-consciousness approach, translation, displacement, and rough joins, she develops collages that function as cabinets of fragments, where images are detached from their
original contexts and recomposed into new constellations. Visible seams and provisional structures emphasize process, temporality, and the instability of images and information.
Rooted in a DIY and feminist perspective, her work addresses questions of access, authorship, invisible labor, and cultural hierarchies. By working with remnants of consumer culture, she examines
how value is produced, circulated, and reassigned, and how alternative narratives can emerge from marginal positions. Collage operates as a non-hierarchical tool for connecting disparate visual
languages and for articulating social, economic, and political conditions marked by precarity. Rather than offering fixed interpretations, the work opens space for multiple readings,
foregrounding the construction of meaning itself within a visually saturated world.
