Narrative, memory, childhood, freedom. Yelena Yemchuk’s work is transversal and multifaceted, not only in its mediums (including painting, drawing, photography and film) but also in the subjects she portrays.
Always poised between a dimension of dream and childhood memory, Yemchuk’s disenchanted gaze tells us funny and disturbing stories, ironic to the point of managing to address foundational concepts such as freedom and war with incisive levity.
The conversation will be an opportunity to bring out the different facets of Yemchuk’s work as an artist, while offering a personal testimony, that of being from a country at war, of extreme relevance.
