FilatovFyodorov

FilatovFyodorov is a collaborative artistic project founded by artists Anya Filatova and Ivan Fyodorov. Their work primarily explores themes of urban decay, memory, and the passage of time, often through mixed-media installations and photography. The duo began their artistic partnership in the early 2010s, drawing inspiration from their shared observations of post-industrial landscapes and the remnants of Soviet-era architecture.

Their artistic process involves extensive fieldwork, documenting abandoned factories, forgotten public spaces, and the subtle transformations occurring in everyday urban environments. Filatova, with a background in painting, often contributes textured elements and a focus on color, while Fyodorov, a photographer, brings a keen eye for composition and narrative within his imagery. Together, they create pieces that invite viewers to contemplate the ephemeral nature of built environments and the stories embedded within them.

FilatovFyodorov's work has been exhibited in various galleries and art festivals internationally. They are known for their ability to imbue seemingly desolate scenes with a sense of quiet beauty and poignant reflection. Their installations frequently incorporate found objects, recontextualizing them to evoke specific moods and provoke questions about societal change and individual experience within broader historical narratives.
