LIDIA RUSSKOVA-HASAYA

Interdisciplinary artist working with social and natural landscapes, light organizing space, and memory of the past and future
Lidia Russkova-Hasaya is a New York educated interdisciplinary artist, theatre director and performer. Her practice spans a variety of genres and art forms including photography, video, performance, sound and total installations.

The artist focuses on exploring the relationship between universal images, languages and impulses. Textual elements can often be found in her projects, a consequence of her interest in political philosophy.

Lidia also explores the concept of "intermezzo", introduced by Deleuze, which refers to the possibility of focusing on the present when the past is deceptive and the future is unknown.

Lidia's artistic projects are presented all over the world. For example, at the beginning of 2023 the artist opened the exhibition Unfolding at the Ria Keburia Foundation (Georgia) with great success, and in May she presented the public art installation PORTAL during the opening of the Venice Architecture Biennale.
ARTIST STATEMENT

Time is hell, and space is paradise. Time tries to squeeze us out of itself, it erases memory and makes us doubt reality. Space creates a place for us: if not here, then somewhere else. Time is abstract and indistinguishable, while in space, everything comes to light.


My artworks reflect the indivisibility of space and our self-perception, of its variability over time and our own variability. In my practice, I use different media, because what better conveys space than installation or photography, and time than performance or video.
