Alleck’s work is a combination of personal history fused with a more extended view of the world space in which we live and the psychological and sometimes romantic notions of existence and time. She often takes a ‘felt’ moment as a starting point, attempting to render certain intrinsic feelings into real situations and fusing the personal and the public into a whole. 'Perfect Match' features two boxers – one male and one female – and the shadows they generate sparring against a changing sequence of backgrounds, interwoven with fragments of text in French and English. Alleck works with a range of media including paint, installation, video and sound. Most recently, she has been involved in implementing a major public art project in Mauritius.In 2014 Togolese-French curator and producer Kisito Assangni toured 'Still Fighting Ignorance and Intellectual Perfidy: Video Art from Africa', a multi-national exhibition and a platform for critical thinking, researching and presenting African video art, to Ben Uri in London. The exhibition presented a selection of work by 21 contemporary African video artists, including Nirveda Alleck’s 'Perfect Match', and confronted some of the stereotypes that are still too often associated with African Art and its presentation in the West.
