Elizabeth Suvorova

Interdisciplinary artist, graphic artist, performance director, researcher of corporeality in a posthumanistic perspective

Biography:

The artist works at the border of theatrical and artistic practices. She pays special attention to graphic art as a method of rethinking spatial relations of objects and structures. Also in graphics through the line in a special way the analysis of self-organization of "living matter" represented by different entities, bodies, concepts, times, histories is carried out.

The artist's practice includes organizing collective delegated plastic performances, Elizabeth seeing them as a way of exploring a new principle of interaction within one system - what Donna Haraway called "sympoetic", which has its own special dynamics, "without self-determined spatial and temporal boundaries".

Elizabeth also conducts theoretical and artistic research within a posthumanist perspective: she studies the process of human matter's aspiration to become a unified aphicizing matter with all agents of the lifeworld, and observes the modalities of the body's existence within a non-hierarchical, post-anthropocentric reality.

The artist has presented her projects at leading venues in various cities of Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Petrozavodsk, Ulyanovsk, Kazan, Sviyazhsk, Samara, Tomsk, Penza), as well as abroad (Italy, Germany, Greece, and the Netherlands).

Curious Minds Ask

Sharpness of perception. I use different practices that help me to be in a situation of deep inclusion in each moment of reality. In such a state, when one breaks out of what phenomenologists call the natural attitude, everything from a random detail of the world to the right word embedded in the text I am reading becomes a resource.

Yes, the artworks you see displayed on the website are for sale. You can also contact me for a catalog of linocuts and graphics from other series, since only artworks from the New Semiotics series are shown on the website.

The New Semiotics project is an investigation and quiet observation of the methods of representation relevant to a new type of subjectivity - schizophrenic, plural - that is relevant to a new type of subjectivity. The tools are a variety of semantic units that form new sign - semiotic - systems. They are composed by the reassembled word, sound, movement, the flicker of meaning, image, point and line, the multifaceted void. In my sense, New Semiotics is a linguistic system from which resistance to instrumental control has been removed. It is natural, free, with a porous symbolic structure. The elements of the new semiotic system form a permeable space for experience, a dialogic field of intense living in the here and now. Subordinating relations in this field are reduced, the subject dissolves into a rhizomatic network formed by other equal agents. The world appears as a set of things of one type, where the human image is ontologically equal to the non-human, and the binary oppositions characteristic of modernist perception are ruined.

I've been on this wild artistic journey for 7 years.

Graphics and Performance. Graphics, in its essence, is also movement, repeats the inner pattern of the subconscious. I often work with linocuts, I have a charming red wheel printmaking machine living in my studio.
