Exhibition by artist Dasha Kuznetsova opened at the site of young art START, CCA Winzavod at October 10. Dasha Kuznetsova combines her interest in psychiatry and neuroscience with practical study of mythological thinking.
Her main tool is automatic drawing which allows to convey folklore, memory mechanics, sleep and borderline states. Kuznetsova renders ruins, abandoned buildings and hidden elements in the urban landscape as symbols of the unconscious mind.
