Dariia Kuzmych
Dariia Kuzmych (1991, Kyiv, Ukraine) lives and works in Kyiv and Berlin. After finishing her bachelor in monumental painting at the Fine Art Academy in Kyiv, she completed the master program in media art at the Berlin University of Arts (Prof. Nina Fischer and Ai Weiwei). Her works synthesize fictional and documentary aspects, bringing them together in such forms as immersive installation, spatial drawing, video, and text. A central point that connects these multimedia practices is that they are capturing times of transition in a society and how it impacts an individual. In her current projects, she is engaged with various aspects of time perception in relation to traumatic events and crisis.
She is author and editor (together with Polina Baitsym) of special issue I Crave to Make the Invisible Visible (12/2023) of Konstnären magazine, published by Artists’ Association of Sweden
Among her recent artistic projects:
Diploma Thesis (in collaboration with Svitlana Selezneva)
Full-bodied, velvety, stabbing, throbbing
A distressing image after a sudden interruption of movement: an image of time
