IMAGINIG BODY (2025)


personal exhibition, MAMM venue, Rodchenko art-school, Moscow
30th of Apr — 15th of May 

A premonition of emptiness — the destruction of the external when the need to preserve oneself arises. An etude on the construction of the experience of an imaginary body — a soft protective layer capable of coming into contact with another without losing its boundaries and sense of reality.

Imagining Body is a project that explores space as a temporal matrix balancing between distance and proximity. It is an image revealed by the fundamental need to find support and preserve oneself in the face of external influences.

Internal architecture, transferred to the outside, becomes a structure similar to the soft, natural mechanism of the body. Working with materials — painting, clay, and graphics — is a way to cope with the existential risks of closeness and loss when the sense of time is erased.
