Alexandra Pavlovskaya-Lokchine

A state of rupture: is it a condition where neither detachment nor belonging is possible? Greysnow is a sculptural audiovisual installation structured in recurring cycles. The grey zone is a surrounding subject and the internal logic of the work. Human beings are but particles in a storm of events, natural forces, and geopolitical decisions. The limits of individual influence dissolve. The world splinters into fragments— death and birth, timelessness and the present fuse into a single materiality.

The vulnerability and nakedness are laid bare in the face of vast landscapes, events, and the environments that people have created. Sculptural relief-elements function not only as autonomous objects: they operate as scenographic structures referring to the relics of saints in Orthodox monasteries. Greysnow reflects on collective and personal paralysis in moments of historical rupture.
