Polina Polikarpova | In Residence
Polina Polikarpova's stay in Chemnitz is not a regular artist residency. The war in Ukraine forced her to leave her homeland together with her mother. The pictures in the exhibition are her attempt to show the suffocating anaesthesia of a quiet provincial life in a city almost completely unknown to her. Boredom and oppression, integration and the search for a new identity, longing for a past life and tedious bureaucracy mingle with existence in a new and foreign comfort zone.
