Lidia Russkova‑Hasaya
Lidia Russkova‑Hasaya is a Georgian‑Russian interdisciplinary artist working across performance, video, immersive installation, sculpture, and glass. Educated in New York, she explores what she calls Emotional Architecture—externalizing mental states through spatial, material, and sensory language.
Russkova‑Hasaya constructs post‑geographic spaces—Portals, Chamber Experiences, live performance environments, and ethereal glass sculptures inspired by clouds—that reimagine feminine vulnerability as strength and transformation as an embodied experience. Informed by personal histories of denied citizenship and prolonged mental health challenges, her work interrogates imposed identities and searches for new forms of belonging.
Through both performance and spatial interventions, she externalizes internal states and offers speculative architectures for a future self—temporary sites where memory, uncertainty, and vulnerability become conditions for becoming.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including presentations in Venice, Dubai, Tbilisi, Moscow, and Cannes, and is held in private and foundation collections.
