DARIA GNATCHENKO
Daria Gnatchenko (2003) works in Paris. Her major is Contemporary Art (Université Paris 8). Daria works most of all with digital media (photography, video and 3D-graphics). In her works she is interested in themes of ecology, connecting with nature and “hacking” the habitual determination of man in the world. In recent works, this is expressed in the cross-cutting theme of “uniting” any two phenomena: people, nature, animals, etc.

Daria’s practice employs themes of harmonious coexistence of different things in a person (for example, issues of genderfluidity or the search for one’s identity). Daria unites all these aspects with the theme of loneliness, which is not only seen as something painful, but as a natural state of human beings in which they need to learn to exist. Daria’s method of working is to dive deeply into the theme and conduct a research, on which she later strings the visual component of the works. The aim of Daria’s projects is to rework ideas and current trends in philosophy and culture and to implant her personal experience into them.

Cryonics


2023
Cryonics is a technology for deep cooling of animals and plants to preserve them for the future.
 
In my project, I aim to freeze the memories of a summer garden: to recreate the singing of birds, the sound of wind or construction work in the neighboring plots. 

It is an auditory photograph that aims to transport the listener into a summer garden atmosphere. 

The music for the work was written in the VCV Rack program.

History of the project:
– June 2024 - participation in the competition "Sound Experiments" (Institut Français, Moscow, Russia)
