Fine Art nominee

What if we lived in a world where people live forever?
The contours have faded, the coordinates have been removed. The people who look like pinheads are the only signs of life in an environment that otherwise does not give the impression of being alive and does not reveal any clues about geography. They find themselves in a place isolated from everything and at the same time give the impression of not forming a unit, of being even separated from one another. This is probably the best way for this work to speak about the feeling of our time. The documentary form as a possibility of imagination.

Ivan Murzin is a visual artist from Irkutsk, Siberia, Russia, who currently resides in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. In 2019 he graduated as a Meisterschüler from the Academy of Fine Arts Städelschule, Germany. He works with a variety of media including, photography, video art, installations, woodcut printing and etching.
His artistic practice mostly focuses on developing topics such as isolation, escapism, splits in societies, establishing different systems of relations, challenges, mistakes and issues stemming from the loss of voice and lack of communication, which he believes are fundamental to a joined and peaceful life.
