Abstract
In this research, post-humanist theories (performativity approach, object-oriented ontology, new materialism, agential realism) are applied to reveal aspects of art creation, based on the case study of paintings by Ineta Freidenfelde. Based on semi-structured and unstructured interviews and artwork analysis, the article reveals the ways a work of art is a performative process embedded in the network of human and non-human agents. Among them, small life forms of urban wildlife are prominent, forming relationships with the artist and the environment, as well as placed within a liminal space that destabilizes the common binaries of urban/ countryside and sacred/profane as the artist explores the possibilities offered by re-imagining of orthodox iconography.
