Soft Control Systems
3D-printed frame, plotter drawing on photograph, plexiglass, highly polished metal, LED lighting

The work examines wellness as a capitalist aesthetic that shifts the burden of care from collective systems onto the individual body, presenting self-optimisation as a personal responsibility whilst masking structural neglect.
A silver, AI-generated Art Nouveau double frame encloses mirrored influencer selfies in bathrobes and infrared masks, overlaid by a red plotter drawing referencing fascist architectural symmetry, and suspended before polished metal with red backlighting.
Through tamed technology, symmetry and cleanliness, the piece exposes how wellness codes normalise whiteness, standardisation and a unified, disciplined body under the guise of care.
Shipping:
The work is dispatched in a box by post; it is not the entire installation but only the frame – including a certificate of authenticity and a signature on the reverse.

ARTISTIC PRACTICE
Bianca works with mixed-media approaches at the intersection of photography, time-based media and installation. Her works explore how digital technologies shape perception, social structures and the attribution of value. In doing so, she combines analogue and digital processes and is particularly interested in transitions, reproductions and materialised traces of digitality. Her practice ranges between documentary, installation-based and media-reflective forms.
