say you remember me a loophole in the zones of active hostilities / I would have little luck / the realm of maybe enemy / If I stayed timeless time, 2020

About this artwork

Kirill Savchenkov’s mixed media sculptures constitute the core of his latest works, that appeal to the interrelationships between techne and sensation, affects of media weaponization and metabolism of things. Objects resembling the hybrids between vases and ikebanas appear to be the environmental witness of living-too-long disrupted political regimes. These works are made of found objects, parts of the weapon equipment, organic fragments alongside with synthetic materials like polycaprolactone.

Kirill works with various media including mediated sculpture, installation, performance and sound. His artistic practice raises the questions of hidden power and violence formations, new traumas acquired within production, experience, power and culture. The works highlight the proxy-metabolism of technology, informational autocracy and media weaponization.
