Antonina Baever

 Antonina Baever is keen on cracks of harmonious status quo built by contemporary social systems within various relations, be them economical, social or interpersonal. Analyzing these errors, she seeks for algorithms alternative to those common that shift spectators’ perception into other planes and withdraw them from their framework of habitual relations. These may be prostitutes placed in an uncommon environment at close attention of camera, state symbols explained by recreational youthspeak, a person of art in their most intimate personal area of grooming or the spectator himself who came to the exhibition receiving unordinary guidelines from the artist — apart from the paradox and imagination, it is important to imagine that the developed status quo is often deprived of its own logics, and then utopia doesn’t seem to be so impossible.
