Summary

In this research, post-humanist theories (performativity approach,
object-oriented ontology, new materialism, agential realism) are applied to reveal
aspects of art creation, based on the case study of paintings by Ineta Freidenfelde.
Based on semi-structured and unstructured interviews and artwork analysis, the
article reveals the ways a work of art is a performative process embedded in the
network of human and non-human agents. Among them, small life forms of urban
wildlife are prominent, forming relationships with the artist and the environment, as
well as placed within a liminal space that destabilizes the common binaries of urban/
countryside and sacred/profane as the artist explores the possibilities offered by
re-imagining of orthodox iconography.
