Katerina Sidorova
Human understanding of the world through acceptance of our mortality is the main focus of Sidorova’s practice. The artist looks at the absurdity of mankind’s existence through its relationships with death, non-human species and the coping mechanisms of our reasoning. In Sidorova works sculptural meets theatrical: large immersive environments serve as a platform for performative actions, curation, experiment, collaboration and improvised installations, with imperfection as her method. By digging into her own cultural heritage, Sidorova brings the materiality and reuse of domestic objects and historical artefacts to a higher tier. Her works are created with the notion of inevitable decay and are often made from natural materials that will change their state over time.
