Her location and context-specific work questions the creation of icons and myth-making, as well as the forms of staging of highbrow and popular culture. Figures—personified by herself, by others or by the visitors—act within her evocative spaces, blurring the borders between reality and fiction. Blum uses simple materials to reveal the artistic process, transforming the familiar into something new. The subject matter of her stagings include visibility, power, and the narrative of heroism.
