Daniela Comani’s work explores themes of history, gender, identity, and social stereotypes. The multi-media artist appropriates the visual and textual language of media outlets and publications, tweaking and manipulating words and images to create series that confront the public with issues such as gendering, patriarchy, and power dynamics prevalent in our society.

In the series YOU ARE MINE, Daniela Comani re-elaborated – by changing the gender of the protagonists – news articles reporting femicides around the world. The site-specific YOU ARE MINE, conceived especially for BAB 2024, invites the public to reflect on this urgent issue particularly relevant to Thailand, where, according to the Women and Men Progressive Movement Foundation in 2023, 75% of cases of domestic violence are against women.

Comani’s solo exhibition The Reading Room opened during the Berlin Art Week at the Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin featuring among others the series YOU ARE MINE and a public installation on billboard sign. A recipient of numerous prizes and scholarships, Comani exhibited internationally. Her works are in prestigious collections, including the Museum on the Seam (Jerusalem); Museum Folkwang (Essen); MAMbo (Bologna); Farnesina Contemporary Art Collection (Rome); Musée Les Abattoirs (Toulouse); Academy Museum of Motion Pictures (Los Angeles); and the Watson Library at The Met (New York).
