Marina Chernikova
URBAN SURFING II b/w
Country: The Netherlands
Year: 2007
Duration: 3'00''
This work confronts the spectator with a new contemporary vision of city and widens the borders of psychological perception of urban environment and its artistic representation as well. Video fragments from Moscow, Tokyo and Paris are united into one powerful stream. By the force of gravitation as it were, the images overlap, rescale, regroup, disintegrate into separate parts and establish new formations. Recognizable and logical architectural elements are transformed into abstract structures. Just as accelerated navigation through a cityscape leaves only time for the associative scanning of striking details and landmarks linked with it. As a result, the generally accepted concept of a city as a clearly structured architectural ensemble gives way to a dynamic, fragmentary and individual perception of the urban environment. It forms part (called a wave) of an ongoing project URBAN SURFING.
Marina Chernikova is a multimedia artist living in Amsterdam and Moscow. She holds an MFA in painting from Moscow State Fine Art Academy and a Media Master of Arts from HKU, Netherlands. Presently she is developing a series of photographical and video works based on the exploration of the dynamical visual structures of various megalopolises as a dynamic process of a product of human consciousness. Her works were shown in numerous festivals and exhibitions, such as the One Minutes Train, the Venice Biennial, VIPER in Basel, Rencontres Internationales in Paris-Berlin-Madrid, Visionaria in Siena, KATOPTRON 2 Moscow Biennale.
