An exhibition by Yulia Lokshina
The current dystopian reality, altered by a virus, reveals the shortcomings of our society. We are relentlessly confronted with our failings and the ambivalence of our actions in the past. However, the reflexive and childish assurances of improvement make it clear that the real problem lies in the suppression of the substantive challenges. At the same time, the longing for a return to old habits seems to be greater than the desire to discuss essential questions and profound social issues.
Changes. Yulia Lokshina's films, videos and installations address precisely this point. She raises questions about the rule of law, social structure, faith, economy, consumption and social fairness, forcing us to reflect on the current definition of risk groups.
Yulia Lokshina, born in Moscow in 1986, studied documentary film directing at the University of Television and Film Munich. Her film and video works deal with the interference of social environments and their protagonists. She also works in the border area of film and science at the Forum Internationale Wissenschaft Bonn. Her films have been honoured with, among others: Max Ophüls Prize for Documentary Film, 2020, Megaherz Student Award at Dokfest Munich 2020, Starter Film Prize of the City of Munich 2017.
