The project “Ona: Internal Project(ions)” presents a timeline narrative of an individual artist. It follows the story of an artist named Ona and her projects, introduced through her curator. The main focus lies in examining a young artist’s development and how it relates to contemporary art culture.

The project investigates the question of modernity in the 21st century, accompanied by research into participatory art, relational art, and the concepts of authorship, pseudonymity, and anonymity.

It was exhibited as an installation using the artist’s personal home table, along with various materials and objects that formed an essential part of her everyday workspace. In this way, Ona presents her private environment to the public, inviting viewers to become part of it.

Visitors are encouraged to sit down and engage with the materials and notes she collected throughout the project, during which she operated as an anonymous artist.
