“As an artist, I am not necessarily interested in a simple condemnation or an extreme nostalgia. What interests me is constructing an archaeological and poetic relationship, a deeply dialectical one. I aim to uncover the overlapping layers: the utopian layer of projection, the layer of historical wear, and the layer of contemporary reappropriation.”
(Excerpt from the interview “Laboratoriya: the ruins of a future once imagined as eternal” given to Igloo magazine, February 2026)
The artist’s relationship with this legacy of failed utopia takes the form of an archaeological and dialectical investigation carried out with critical rigor. The works in Laboratoriya thus function both as replicas and reflections: forms extracted from their original contexts and reconstructed by the artist in metal and ceramic. Through this process of essentialization and recontextualization, the formal lines and geometric rigor of the original structures are accentuated, allowing the viewer to experience the tension between the aestheticism of pure form and its ideological function.
