Nesterov Slava

«In my projects I use such visual forms as installation, sculpture, graphics, digital art. The main principles of work are the deconstruction of myths and work with post-history, on the ruins of which a new «world of life» is born».

Nesterov Slava was born in Perm in 1989. Lives and works in Moscow.

«In my practice, I am looking for points at which the semi-capitalist regime, based on the production of signs, can manifest itself through the material environment. The works cover the relationship between materiality, information flows, economics and technology. They can give birth to a kind of archeology that involves the construction of new myths. The projects have an object-oriented aesthetic. Complex connections, between which it is difficult to establish correlations, are an attempt to consider the actual reality nonlinearly, multilayered, with the inclusion of chaos and chances in it.
