Born in 1971 in Kiev, she lives in Paris.
Architecture is at the heart of Kristina Solomoukha’s work because it offers a perfect reflection of the societies that construct it. From the Maisons-logos, drawings in which the artist imagines the architecture of corporate headquarters that concretely embody their logo, to the Jardin du Copyright, Solomoukha offers a not unhumorous critique of the different models produced by the different forms of power, whether political or economic.
In the work presented at the festival, the artist sets up a dialogue between drawing and maquette in the same installation. Made directly on the wall, an interlacing of highways serves as a counterpoint to a luminous house which could be either a dwelling or a new sign for an unknown brand.
