In my artistic practice, I mostly focus on self-reflection, ideas of self and persona, exploring the topics of dependency / co-dependency in relationships, the conflict of external and internal, personal and political. Most of my work are autobiographical in certain ways, because I believe that the exploration of any global topic begins with a deep and sometimes painful analysis of oneself. Often my work is related to sexuality, the visual language I use involves numerous elements from the pornographic culture. Working with other people I attempt to-build non verbal dialogue through photography, observing, capturing, even possessing the one in front of the camera. I approach photography as the element of impartial exploration of myself and the others, the camera has a power over one’s body. The camera knows me better than I know myself. Another direction I am leading my art to is the political body, the issue of emigration, finding / losing home, feelings of the presence / absence, self-identification in the context of the political actions of my “homeland”. Home in the context of power and stigma.  New East culture reveals memories from my ages I have spent in Russia, confronting and rethinking the image of masculinity and all the taboos around sexuality that are still present there. My recent works can be found at the intersection of photography, performance and installation. The process of capturing myself and the others implements few videocameras and photocameras to underline the feeling of being recorded, watched. I tend to work in series by combining new and old visual materials.
