SETAREH is very pleased to present the first gallery exhibition of Lucia Sotnikova.In her photographs, the current recipient of the BEST Art Prize establishes pictorial worlds that oscillate between seemingly surreal mise en scènes and situations of everyday life, which appear lapidary but are sharply observed. An element of the grotesque pervades her work that often ironically points to the orders of nature-historical scientific knowledge. One may surmise a utopia, the implementation of
which was renounced. However, the photographs by Sotnikova reveal a sensitivity that functions beyond the constantly affirmative perfectionism, thus creating their very own magic.

Sotnikova’s original photographic approach enables the artist to transform her subjectsinto a micro-rhythm of exhilarating single shots

The transformation and shift in semantic significance of the individual motifs is represented in a very subtle way.

According to Sotnikova, visual communication relies on an analytical approach to archetypes. The sculpture of a young female dancer in Kapustin Yar Pioner has an irritating effecton viewers, because the depicted environment seems unusual and unsuitable. The title of the work underlines this transposition, as it refers to a military artillery firing range in Volgograd, thus forming a contrast to the dancer’s graceful and innocent figure
