Yasmine Danielli

Yasmine Dainelli focuses her practice on the interrogation and representation of territory, linking it to the theory of Psychogeography. In her work she aspires to reflect the world's reality in its continuous temporal change, by emphasising the dialogue between memory and the future. As a space's architectural style, design purpose and actual use change intermittently over time, Yasmine has combined images with overlaying and collage to try and capture the transitional nature of a space.

Dainelli’s BWF Freedom Roadcame out of a series of works exploring the transitional state of one London’s borough: Tottenham. Tottenham is one of London’s most impoverished boroughs, and one of the most multicultural postcodes in the world. Through the formation of different local communities, a plethora of different realities are played out at the same time. While the sense of community remains strong, many of the area’s regeneration projects seek to brutally disrupt this. Dainelli’s work recognises Tottenham’s turbulent history; a new energy is being welcomed in, yet its troubled past still lingers in the air. Dainelli’s work explores the sensation that many ghosts of the past can still be felt generations later. This is particularly strong in her handling of her medium, which uses multimedia to layer the skeletons of brutalist architectural schemes with the impressions of spectral figures.
