Аксана Прутцкова

My practice is connected with the topic of communication and a utopian future. In my works, I explore the process of oscillation between irony and sincerity in the modern world. I work with performance and consider it both as a context and as a dialogue: with time, space and other people.

Everything that used to be a monologue (books, films, pictures), now, largely due to the emergence of social networks (likes, comments, reactions), becomes a dialogue.

Dialogue appears even where it was not originally there: we talk with objects, for example, a smart speaker or a navigator in a car, and we even call their speech modules intelligence, just in case artificial. Thanks to the change in the pattern of communication from monologous to dialogic, art is also changing. Dialogue in art is possible through participatory or performative components, so I often directly involve the audience in the problems of my work.
