Artist’s contemplations were developed via the routine of taking daily notes, which later on led to transferring them into the visual realm. Artistic practice includes textual elements, which is a tribute to the artist’s fascination with political philosophy, history, historical speeches, newspaper cuts, fables, oeuvre of Susan Sontag and the book “Leviathan” by Thomas Hobbes.

The balance of industrial and futuristic materials, used in the works (glass, plastic, neon, metal) refers to her personal experience. This approach explores the capacity of raw materials to possess aesthetically compelling design qualities. The artist traces the challenges of the contemporary world — recognisable but not always immediately visible — on social and natural landscapes.

Experimental sound pieces, photo and video installations by Lidia Russkova create cine- somatic cartographies exploring the relationship between individual and collective memories.
