Slava Nesterov
In my practice, I search for the points where the semiocapitalist regime, that is based on production of signs, can manifest itself through the material. The works cover the relationship between materiality, information flows, Economics, and technology. They can generate a type of archaeology that involves construction of new myths. Projects have an object-oriented aesthetic. I attempt to study complex connections that don’t seem to have established correlations. In my artistic vision, I examine the actual reality as a non-linear, multi-layered system, with the inclusion of chaos and randomness.
In my projects, I use such visual forms as installation, sculpture, graphics, and digital art. My main strategies include deconstruction of myths and work with post-history, on the ruins of which a new "lifeworld" (Lebenswelt) is born

The works of Slava Nesterov tell us about the subtle states of things and subconscious signals. They make us to look newly in the daily things, find the unknown in the ordinary and allow the unremarkable and ephemeral to find a voice and image.
