Lesia Vasylchenko—Echoes of Not Yet
Opens Saturday November 16th
Vernissage: 6pm—9pm
Lesia Vasylchenko’s Echoes of Not Yet is a presentation of the artist's works to date, delving into the multiplicities of speculative futures and unwritten pasts; our synchronized present, shaped by media technologies, visual culture, and chronopolitics. Vasylchenko’s research-based works feature digital landscapes and hybrid sculptural forms that represent various scales of time and blur the lines between organic and synthetic.
The exhibition presents a series of installations, videos, and sculptural works that explore time as an infrastructure, how it shapes the planetary condition, and the role of more-than-human intelligence within it. Her work delves into speculative narratives focusing on the consequences of rapid technological advancement, and the ethical dimensions of image-making and artificial intelligence. Vasylchenko merges soundscapes, digital media, installation, and mixed materials, creating constellations of works that explore the possibility of alternative histories, how AI-driven forms of representation redefine the notion of reality, and how violence is embedded in this new synthetic reality through the photographic image.
Echoes of Not Yet is an exploration of the imagination of the 'future' as a concept, itsobsolescence, and the urge to redefine it. It juxtaposes two interconnected realities —one of a ruined modern world, and another of togetherness that is open to rethinking the constructs and concepts of the time we have inherited from the past.
Lesia Vasylchenko (born in Kyiv, Ukraine) works across a range of media, including video, photography, installation, and curatorial practice. She is the founder of STRUKTURA. Time, a cross-disciplinary initiative for research and practice within the framework of visual arts, media archaeology, literature, and philosophy. She holds a degree in Journalism from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and in Fine Arts from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Vasylchenko has recently exhibited at the Pochen Biennial for Multimedia Art (Ex Oriente Ignis), the MUNCH Museum's Triennale (The Machine Is Us), and the Henie Onstad Triennale for Photography and New Media (New Visions). She was nominated for the Sparebankstiftelsen DNB Grant Exhibition in 2022 and is the recipient of the Sandefjord Kunstforenings Art Prize in 2023. She is currently nominated for the PinchukArtCentre Prize 2025. Her work is part of the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art KIASMA / Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki, Finland.
