About the Artist

I am searching for points where the semiocapitalist regime, based on the production of signs, can manifest itself through the material environment. The works cover the relations between materiality, information flows, economics and technologies. They can give birth to a certain type of archeology that involves the construction of new myths. The aesthetics of the works are based on the Permian animal style and Perm wooden sculpture (Perm Gods wooden sculpture). Permian animal style is a generalized name for bronze figurines found in the Urals and Western Siberia, presumably created by Ugric tribes in the 3rd-12th centuries AD. Perm wooden temple sculpture (17th-19th centuries), being an Eastern Christian art, absorbs pagan features and is influenced by Western European Baroque. These are images of Christian saints made in the form of pagan idols and statues. In such a mixture of cultural codes and images I see a reflection of today, in which mysticism, science, culture, economics and technology are intertwined into complex network structures. The main principles of the work are the deconstruction of myths and work with post-history, on the ruins of which a new "life world" is born. To create objects, I use modern production technologies in combination with craft practice. The insensitivity of technical means and algorithms are included in the connection with living material and craft work, to which I pay great attention.
