Tatiana Stadnichenko (Tara, Russia, 1985) Il suo lavoro esplora i confini fisici e mentali degli spazi pubblici tramite dettagli architettonici, immagazzinati nella nostra memoria collettiva. Esamina come le immagini in movimento dei luoghi urbani possono comportarsi come contemplazione astratta degli spazi. Indaga su come i paesaggi urbani stiano modellando la nostra identità, il nostro stile di vita e atteggiamento nel momento storico in cui la migrazione, il nomadismo, la globalizzazione ed il miscuglio di nazioni sta raggiungendo un punto critico.
