Elena Slobtseva is a visual multidisciplinary artist, working with installation, objects and animation/video. The themes that Slobtseva refers to are traumas of construction, destruction and reconstruction, the dialectics of breaking and repair. Her favourite material has been metal staples, which enable the artist to speak on the current political and social issues, as in Crimea, 2015 or Replay, 2019, staying within the framework of minimalist aesthetics.
