Introducing the new series of sculptures by Katerina Alimova from the series "Musca" ("Mukhi"). The first objects from the series were first exhibited at the Museum of Moscow at the blazar fair in September 2023.
Ekaterina Alimova:
"On one hand, something repulsive can have its own aesthetic. On the other hand, a fly is something mundane, annoying, like a news feed, like the reality we live in. It's horrifying, but we get used to it and just brush it off. You can see this as a collective image: Chukovsky's dancing fly and Balabanov's fly that accompanies corpses. The flies will have human faces. Probably not the most flattering metaphor for humanity."
In the new series, selected sculptures "Mukha-Kuzmich", "Housefly" and "The Housefly" made in collaboration with Artem Maksimov.
