The multimedia work of Comani touches on subjects like history, language, gender and identity. She often works with photos and texts from newspapers, television and books that allegedly appear familiar to us. Foreignness and intimacy, history and interpretation, and the mechanisms of comprehension are her concerns. Comani's artistic practice includes photography, texts, drawings, video and installation.
