DARIA GNATCHENKO
Daria Gnatchenko (b. 2003) is a Paris-based artist and curator currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Ecology of Arts and Media at Université Paris 8. Her practice spans digital media — photography, video, 3D graphics — as well as exhibition-making and writing.

Daria’s work explores ecology, posthuman perspectives, and the “hacking” of habitual notions of the human in the world. Recent projects focus on the idea of connection and coexistence — between people, nature, technology, animals — and on states of fluidity in identity and gender. She often returns to the theme of loneliness, not only as a painful condition but also as a fundamental and even generative aspect of human existence.

Her recent research examines installations that incorporate earth as a medium and the concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk, using these approaches to envision posthumanist worlds and reflect on the temporalities of catastrophe and the end of the Anthropocene.

Her method combines research and visual experimentation, weaving personal experience into contemporary philosophical and cultural discourses. Through this approach, Daria seeks to create spaces where fragile yet resilient forms of life and thought can emerge.

Qui chante dans les bois

2024
The "Qui chante dans les bois" zine was created from photographs taken during a trip to the north of Normandy. Winding trees, persistent fog, dense shrubbery - it all adds up to an atmosphere of inaccessibility and enchanting mystery, hidden in the very heart of nature. When we shot the plants and processed the images, we tried to capture this enigma by experimenting with black and white inversion and reflective framing.The title of the zine refers to a poem by Victor Hugo, which celebrates the mystery and self-sufficiency of nature.

The zine is printed in A5 format on uncoated paper.

The zine is represented in:
