Since the early 1990s, she has explored the mediation of identity, history, and destiny in a globalised media landscape, often inserting her own body into reworked archival and documentary footage. Vári’s densely layered works trace the fragmentary nature of historical narratives, reframing them as subjective retellings shaped by omission, distortion, and personal insight. Alongside her moving-image practice, her works on paper and canvas extend these themes into intimate, tactile forms.

Exhibitions
The exhibition explores the concept of the permacrisis and how radical acceptance and rage may be interconnected.
Taking a cue from the medium, the exhibition teases out deeper questions of visual consumption and creation, not only of the images we ingest, but also the countless worlds and realities reinforced by film. Some might argue the line between public and private has entirely dissolved through micro-videos and a cadence of clickbait. Then, perhaps, our sense of crisis is magnified by a medium and culture of hyper-real image making.
