Berkutova Elizaveta. August 28, 1996 Lives and works in London, UK. Elizaveta explores the themes of human consciousness, ways of memory construction, cognition of corporeality, and or within the alternative realities. Elizaveta spent her childhood in a closed military town, which reflected on her artistic activity lately. She creates projects as opposed to the militaristic system she was surrounded by. Her artistic work is an attempt to gain freedom, to achieve justice, safety, and peace. In the projects, she asks questions about the ideal, sometimes utopian structure of society, trying to find answers to them, or leaving them open. The artist integrates a participative element into each project, thus creating a comfortable and accessible environment for the viewer: everyone has the opportunity to be involved in an art object one way or another, for example, by trying on an Instagram mask created by Elizaveta.
