Description

Yulia Lukshina masterfully explores people’s tendency to believe in their own illusions and bring them to life—often with unpredictable consequences. In her works, the past easily intertwines with the present and the future, while harsh realism turns into everyday magic, where hatred and love can switch places. All beings, whether living or dead, animals, people, or even objects, have equal rights to feelings and to expressing them. The characters don’t so much search for themselves as assert their existence in the world—in order, later, to dissolve into it in an astonishing way and change. Their stories of life and love often depend on coincidences, such as a long-forgotten photograph from an amusement park.
