Aleksandr Lialiushkin
artist & performer
Aleksandr's artistic practice explores the philosophy of the body, the interaction between the artist and art, and politics and political science.
Working with visual arts (e.g. ARTEPOVERA20 / COVID19, 2020), performance (e.g. I'm a Bad Artist but a Good Person, 2016), embroidery (e.g. Untitled about war, 2022), he describes photography as his leading medium. Aleksandr's photographic practice is not about documenting reality, but constructing a new statement, taking full control of the image: from directing the shooting to using retouching tools. Aleksandr uses it as an independent media (e.g. Slow sliding at home, 2020-2023) or combines it with others (e.g. Sense of Kin, 2018-2020).
In theatre, he has directed and choreographed across Russia and Europe, with notable projects like "WE" (2019), a political manifesto dedicated to the Moscow protests. His multidisciplinary approach combines performance, embroidery, and photography, crafting immersive experiences that provoke thought and dialogue on contemporary issues.
In 2022, Aleksandr fled Russia and now lives in Germany.
