Moving images

Alexandra Nesterkina (b. 1990). She graduated from the course "Contemporary Art" at the British Higher School of Design in 2018 and the Institute of Contemporary Art named after. Joseph Bakstein in 2020. Since 2018, he has been participating in exhibitions. Works in the genre of sculpture and object. Lives and works in Moscow.
   The artist uses natural materials - wood, stones, animal parts, found objects, complementing them with tactile forms made of clay or wax. The main themes of her art are the aesthetics of the natural, ruins, and magism. The main plot of the works is the interaction of organic and inorganic origin, natural and artificial. All the works have relative freedom of interpretation and surreal potential.
   Two types of works can be distinguished. The first are sculptures created as if for the dystopian landscape of the future, representing compact stories that the artist calls to herself "small tragedies". Moving images produce multi-layered impressions, combine the past and the present, absence and presence. The second are objects that become clear with tactile contact, have a "hidden" intonation and an obvious, but lost magical purpose. Both types are essentially ruins. Ruin is one of the important concepts of the artist's creative world, combining an elegiac perception of nature and fear of the technicized world of the future.
