Statement :

Kseniia Antipina is a multimedia artist based in Berlin. She has got two degrees - the history of art and graphic design in Moscow. Kseniia has an enormous experience in visual design.

Nowadays, Kseniia creates photography using self-made headdresses and costumes. Everyday materials are used to create images - fabrics, paper, wire, headbands, scarves, and more. Particular attention is paid to visual aesthetics and colour-related accents.

Her photography is dedicated to important social issues. Mostly she represents the relationship complexity, the fear of people, the thoughts and feelings. In her photos faces are intentionally hidden. With this, Kseniia moves the attention away from faces, and instead, viewers experience the visual image as a whole. Thus, viewers are first of all confronted with their own feelings that these artworks invoke in them.
