AIT is very pleased to present the artist talk by Marina Višić and Ksenia Galiaeva, both based in the Netherlands. Višić is a current residency artist at AIT until April 7th in collaboration with the Mondriann Funds. Ksenia Galiaeva is also the artist who participated in the same residency program for 3 months back in 2012. These two artists will each share their stories with slides about the current and previous works and projects and welcome public audience to take a Q&A afterwards.

Through her artistic practices, Marina Višić investigates how a variety of textures and movements can be placed into the landscape of the moving image. Staging is important, as is the scale of the images and their relation to the body. Her research at AIT is based on a various references concerning Japanese aesthetics, for instance, from Junichiro Tanizaki's In Praise of Shadows and the films of Akira Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu. In her talk, Višić will give an introduction to her work, followed by the motivation of her research here in Japan.

In turn, Ksenia Galiaeva has been photographing her parents in the paradisiacal surroundings of their Russian summerhouse for 20 years. With her project, 'Unreal Estate', Galiaeva explores the ways in which memory can be influenced and guided and which part of it plays in perception. Galiaeva describes her work as 'autobiographical fiction', a tool she uses to construct her own life story. Galiaeva considers self-dialogue through visual images the basis of all her work.

Even these two artists work in a various fields of mediums, both of their artistic practices examine and evoke our perception towards visual experiences through their works and projects.
At this public talk, Višić and Galiaeva will talk about their works and projects with slides to introduce further, and look into deeply how their residencies would reflect on their future career as well.
We hope that you can join us.
