HXWXD

Nika Kupyrova borrows her themes from literature and digital culture and translates them into large-scale multi-media installations that envision exhibition spaces as parallel worlds for the viewer to explore. HXWXD is the artist’s first monograph that non-chronologically and playfully revisits four solo exhibitions over the last six years.

HXWXD recognises the absurdity of publishing a book in the age of digital media and asks questions about sculpture and its photographic reproduction, 2D and 3D as well as the malleable border between the digital and the analogue. The structure purposefully challenges a traditional book format: in the absence of page numbers the viewers are encouraged to start from the center and explore in every direction.
