Her work explores themes of vulnerability, mortality, and absurdity within everyday life. By placing her lifeless body in unexpected environments, she provokes reflection on social norms, detachment, and the human condition. Stefdies’ minimalist yet provocative approach merges performance, photography, and satire to question modern existence and visibility   To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts   For full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www. ministryofarts.co.uk Email: ministryofartsorg@gmail.com Social Media: @ministryofartsorg   Hosted on Acast.
