Works and ideas
- 2026No Direct Route
A book and exhibition around travel, return, Rostov, family interiors, winter routes, and the visual pressure of distance. English digital edition (PDF) · Catalogue (PDF)
- OngoingAdult Entertainment Portrait Project
A fine art portrait project about adult entertainment, visibility, performance, sexuality, and the camera.
- 2026Visibility Without Knowledge
An essay on pornography, bodily visibility, portraiture, and the gap between being seen and being known.
- 2022War Worm
Made shortly after the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, this public performance carried a grotesque costume representing Russia as a war creature through central London.
- 2022Rostov
Bare branches and wires, old façades, colour ruptures, and exposed surfaces gather into a field where the city feels constructed before it becomes readable.
- From 2018Chaos Under Construction
Digital photography, colour collage, double exposure, optical disruption, and the unstable pleasure of an image still forming.
- 2021Light as Interference
Fourteen photographs of a return to Nansen Street in Rostov-on-Don use handmade optics, sunlight, and in-camera colour replacement to make recognition flicker between buildings, passing bodies, and near-abstraction.
- 2021Bird Market
An early video work about a courtyard in Rostov-on-Don, the market beside it, and the animals that repeatedly appeared there during the 1990s.
- 2020Mycophobia
During lockdown, I poured liquid acrylic over old portraits. These six came out of hundreds of experiments; the accompanying text looks back at the pleasure of making them and the uncertainty of whether they counted as art.
- 2020The View Is a Vehicle
Ten photographs made through a train window. Movement, glass, and the camera cut, reflect, smear, and recolour the landscape before the sequence turns toward the empty carriage.
- 2018London Chaos
A London chapter of Chaos Under Construction made from one day of shooting, where double exposures and shifts of colour leave the city unstable.
- 2016Limanchik
Eight photographs from my final visit to a Black Sea community between a university base and an informal tent settlement. The empty camp appears as my connection to the place was ending.
- 2016Electric Skies
Photographs made with the camera’s Color Swap mode in fog and overcast light. The sky becomes grainy and unstable, and colour slips across the boundary between atmosphere and image.
- 2015A Face with a Rose
Early portraits layered with flowers. The accompanying text looks back at a recognisable style, the pleasure of making people beautiful, and the caution that shaped a session with a nude model.
- 2015How to Be Seen Quickly
Portrait photographs assembled with fragments of recognised artworks. The accompanying text considers the cultural recognition and public attention borrowed from those sources.
