​

Statement:

In directing, I mostly explore personal themes and intimate stories, using a documentary-fiction approach.

​

As an emerging artist, I`m still in search.

I mainly use images and all their derivatives (video, photography, 3D print, etc.). Since 2019, I have been engaged in conceptual photography, actionism, and raising socio-political issues. For a long time, my projects were directed at the declaration of political and social problems of my native region, Donbas (Donbas in colors, What do you think about?, Until the well runs dry), and the study of physicality (Naked Archives -).

 

After the full-scale invasion, the vector of my interests shifted to the study of urban issues (periphery), interactions in the urban space (Losses and Common Tongue actions), and visual research. In the next projects, I plan to develop the mentioned topics.
