ZOÉ AUBRY – FAIRE ÉCRANE
https://z-aubry.com/About

Faire écran offers a critical reflection on the construction of identity in the age of digital images, positioning the face as a sensitive surface and space for exposure. Through fragmentations and alterations, Aubry highlights the tension between the lived body and its representation. The face emerges as an interface, a place of mediation between self-perception and technological visibility. Visual discontinuities reveal the malleability and vulnerability of contemporary identity. Photography thus becomes a critical space for contesting the norms that shape appearance.

SARA BEZOVŠEK – SND
https://sarabezovsek.com/about

SND is an interactive digital project that explores the possible futures of humanity through a narrative path inspired by the Hollywood cinematic structure. By integrating visual materials found online and his own productions, the artist builds a visually saturated and ever-evolving environment. The viewer is invited to navigate autonomously between utopian and dystopian scenarios, becoming an active part of the experience. The work reflects the contemporary climate marked by anxiety, information overload and global uncertainty. A critical meditation emerges on the relationship between collective imagination, technology and the destiny of the planet.

CAROLYNE DRAKE – NEXT DOOR

Sleepers critically investigates the dynamics of surveillance and the social construction of fear in domestic and urban spaces. The artist redirects the cameras towards the intimacy of the bedroom, subverting their control function.

In parallel, Drake explores the nocturnal urban space, the color photos presented next to them were taken after sunset, with a camera mounted on a tripod. In doing so, the artist exposed himself to the perceived dangers cited in Next Door posts and simultaneously became one of those dangerous subjects.

ALISA MARTYNOVA – ANIMA
https://www.alisamartynova.com/about

Anima explores contemporary identity at the intersection of human and artificial, where the boundaries between organic and synthetic dissolve. Through a process of co-creation with artificial intelligence, the artist reactivates visual archives by generating hybrid portraits and fluid identities. Cyberspace is conceived as a dream space, in which the machine becomes an imaginative extension of the human. Fragmented faces reflect a post-binomial and ever-changing condition. The work is configured as a critical reflection on the co-evolution between body and technology.

VISVALDAS MORKEVICIUS – CAMOUFLAGE
https://visvaldas.com/info

The project investigates the ethical and psychological effects of drone warfare, highlighting how technology distances us from the human reality of violence. Drawing on Grégoire Chamayou’s Theory of the Drone, it shows how drones turn killing into a mediated, abstract act, removing personal risk and empathy. The installation employs digital camouflage and drone footage from the war in Ukraine. It contrasts destruction with emotional detachment. Viewers are invited to adopt the drone’s perspective while concealed under the camouflage.

MYKOLA RIDNYI – BLIND SPOT
https://www.mykolaridnyi.com/biography 

Blind Spot uses the ophthalmological notion of “blind spot” as a metaphor for contemporary perception in the state of media warfare. Intervening on images of devastated Ukrainian territories, the artist superimposes forms that evoke vision loss. This visual alteration reflects the mechanisms of propaganda, which obscure the understanding of political and social reality. The work questions the subjective construction of reality and the fragility of the gaze. A critical reflection emerges on the visibility, memory and representation of the conflict.

INDRĖ ŠERPYTYTĖ – THIS IS HOW WE WIN WARS
https://indre-serpytyte.com/About

The work reflects on the relationship between ritual, war and trauma, investigating the emotions and silent bonds that run through the military apparatus, in contrast to explicit rites and systems. It examines the various ways in which trauma is addressed, processed, and expressed at both the intimate and public levels, and investigates the complex and often problematic relationship between these modes of grieving and remembering.

VASTE PROGRAMME – IT’S ALL FUN AND GAMES
https://vasteprogramme.com/?page_id=166

The series reworks peepboards into tools for reflecting on climate catastrophes. The pierced faces allow the viewer to temporarily replace people on the run, suspending the boundary between game and reality. The images, constructed from hand-painted photographic collages, document extreme and media-filtered climate phenomena. The installation, with the panels initially shown from behind, generates curiosity and discomfort. The work invites us to confront the urgency and proximity of environmental disasters in everyday life.
