The snake and the bat are girlfriends of the octopus

My name is Ilya. In my artistic practice I deconstruct human’s attitudes to nature and gender by presenting closed ecosystems, as models of power structures, ways of scientific and museological collection/classification. I work in different media, the main ones are sculpture and video. I often work with ceramics, natural materials, but also with plastic as an antagonism of nature. In my practic

The Body Issue

I am part of international collective Femxphotographers.org. Our goal is to increase the visibility of female photographers, since women are still underrepresented in the art world. Femxhotographers.org is aiming to change this situation and calls upon women to reinforce their positions collectively. We published our first book in 2020 with Hatje Cantz, wich is already in its second edition.

Existential experience through performing Arts.

Inspired by the past, the artist works in the present, to create in the future. In my research, I realised that I had to take distance from any mannerism and the identification of any form of expression without conditions and margins. In order to capture the physical movement and to study the body from afar, I had to release myself from my physicality, to deconstruct myself.

TODAY! THE BEST OF FUN! ALL INCLUSIVE*

Right now I'm super focused on thinking about and understanding better all passport and visas issues. How countries behave according to political interest and how governments and instituitions prevent some cultures to freely participate on the world. The reflections and consequences of the past and the actions of today affect directly how people perceive each other. Passports that are not allowed.

Tienduizend idioten

In mijn recente boek 'Tienduizend Idioten' (Poëtica, schrijfproces en pedagogie van het hybride Theaterschrijven vanuit Bakhtin's 'Meerstemmigheid') laat ik zien hoe meerstemmigheid een concept kan zijn om naar theaterteksten en naar schrijven, schrijfprocessen en kunst te kijken, waardoor dramaturgie en maakstrategieën vanzelf inclusiever en diverser worden.
