Autobiographical notes

What the critics say

Originally a student of art history, Jermolaewa had not begun to study art until the late 1990s. Although having graduated quite recently, Jermolaewa`s first semester piece, Hendl Triptych, from 1998 found immediate response by curator Harald Szeemann and was pre¬sented in his dAPERTutto show at the Venice Biennial of 1999. Hendl Triptych consists of a three-monitor video installation, where chicken are rotating and roasting on a grill. The slick surface and warm colors visually transfer the heat, which is used to make these dead animal parts bereft of their life-like function and thus ready for human consumption. The burning fire, however, eroticizes the yellowish chicken legs, and, through the extreme close-ups, transfers them from their original context into newly defined visual ter¬ritory. Hendl Triptych was the first showing of a series of video works, in which Jermolaewa deals with the objectification and decontextualization of animal behavior in the sphere of human dominance as well as the interaction between both wo/man and animal.
