Ekaterina
SHCHERBAKOVA

Ekaterina Shcherbakova (born in Novorossiisk, 1990) lives and works in Paris. She is an artist, curator and writer, whose practice engages the potential of the invisible. Taking a deep dive into autofiction, she explores such themes as the female experience, motherhood, sacred and magic. The materials and objects she works with - menstrual blood, ashes, clay, bed linen, red threads - are chosen for their symbolic values. She sees body as a witness and container of fragility and violence. Ekaterina is the alumni of Ecole du Magasin (Grenoble, France) and the art department of Paris 8 University. She has collaborated with such institutions as Typography Art Center, Parc Saint-Léger, Le CAP Saint-Fons, Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia, Venice Biennale, etc.
