Description
“Under the influence of weightlessness on astronauts’ bodies, he has the illusions associated with the position of the body”.
This short sentence was the starting point for beginning of that work. The project is like the process of splitting for perception of the physical world. As a result, the actual world becomes merely an excuse for the existence of the image. An image that has not already happened, once and for all, but is in perpetual becoming.
It becomes again and again to others, under the gaze of exposing alternative ‘reality’. Thus, at the same time, the image itself turns out to be a reason for the appearance of an observer.
Irina Zadorozhnaia (b.1982) graduated from acting and directing department of National Theatre Cinema and Television University (Kiev, UA). In subsequent years, her activity has been associated with theatrical practices. She also studied photography at the FotoDepartament. Institute in St. Petersburg. Now she is a participant of the residence “Laboratory of Digital Arts”.
She is a cross-disciplinary artist whose practice includes CG, animation, spatial visualizations, video and photography. Her artistic practice appeals to a possible interaction between real, virtual and hypothetical.
