Multidisciplinary artist Rossana Jeran ' s work rejects any conventional classifications and is marked with freedom as well as rigorous formalism , when encapsulating a careful attention to composition and balance . Her videos are stylistic tour de force that display your mastery of the medium , employing an impressive articulation of sound and image : in an age in which globalization and commodification impinge on every aspect of our lives , Jeran uses her kaleidoscopic approach to investigate about language , mobility , and transformation .
