Polina Kanis
Polina Kanis’s works interrogate the suspended moment and expose the dialectical relationship between action and non-action, dissolving the boundary between human and non-human. The artist aims to create shifts in accepted temporalities to decentralize the ‘normal’ human temporal perspective. She considers re-describing and re-sensing our surroundings as crucial for developing an alternative outlook on the planetary.
Polina Kanis has exhibited work at VISIO, Florence; Russian Federations’ pavilion of the 2020 Venice Architecture Biennale; and The Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, among others.
