*Reliquary (lat. reliquarium, from lat. reliquiae – remains, ashes, heritage)   The city is the largest assemblage known to us: a space where human and non-human, organic and synthetic, living and spectral coexist beyond hierarchy, each object carrying its own material memory.   In the cultural stratum, these items form a cross-section of an ecosystem […]

Since 2015, my life in Germany has been a phenomenon shaped by centuries of historical interaction within this geopolitical space.   As a bearer of a different cultural code, I find German identity inherently contradictory, often clinging to values that seem ripe for deconstruction. While Germany mirrors traditional models of statehood, it is distinguished by

At the beginning of 2018, I started working in a studio located inside the old “Schwanhof” tobacco factory During the Second World War, this factory served as a “labor camp” and used forced laborers from different prisons and concentration camps.   Of the wooden barracks in which the “workers” lived, only one has survived to

The centuries-old, multicolored matter of which society is composed has a heterogeneous character, both in texture and in composition. In turn, the state, as an anatomical set of internal organs that supports the life of the body, solves the problems of functioning within a complex relationship with the surrounding world.   It is easy to

Born in the late USSR, I experienced the rise of nationalism, becoming a “stranger” in my own birthplace. My identity evolved into a paradox: an “occupier” in Moldova and a “migrant” in Russia. This personal trajectory reflects a global crisis where millions are denied rights due to the “biological lottery” of birth, while robots receive

During the Soviet present, each separate republic was part of a general socialist system. Inside (without taking into account the price that had to pay for it) there was a relatively prosperous vacuum in which Soviet citizens lived. An ordinary individual was generally confident in the future, in available labor employment, housing and communal conditions,

Today, my mind holds more questions than answers. Beyond the enumeration of techniques and recurring themes, I have arrived at a singular, vital realization: any artificially imposed boundary whether social, traditional, or rooted in a specific mentality functions as a cage for the artist, obstructing the gaze into the creative vacuum. I believe that only

On 21 November 2013 the roof of a Maxima shopping centre in the Zolitūde neighbourhood of Riga, Latvia, collapsed at 17:44 local time, resulting in the deaths of 54 people, including three rescue workers, and injuries to another 41 people.   The events that unfolded in Riga on November 21, 2013, affected me profoundly, placing

The multiculturalism policies proclaimed by numerous European states experienced a systemic collapse. Not only in Norway, but throughout Europe, nationalist movements emerged and, following the 2008 crisis, became increasingly active. The prevailing discourse suggested that integration had failed due to a complex web of cultural disparities, differing mentalities, and gaps in professional motivation.   The

This research explores life’s teleology through the dual categories of Space and Time, validated by the body’s displacement.   Centered on the Jewish cemetery in Reggio Emilia—a “heterotopia” of the absent—the project investigates the subject’s fate after the biological cycle ends.   Realized as a site-specific sound installation, it juxtaposes field recordings of modern urban
