Alisa Kutsenko is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher from Ukraine, currently based in London. Rooted in architectural thinking, her interventions are system-based and site-specific. Working through film, installation, and narrative-based work, she is interested in the subjective and speculative constructs of past, present, and future. Through deconstruction and recomposition of space and memory, she intends to disrupt dominant narratives and rigid cultural grids, proposing alternative systems of world-building.

Real comes in the form of the absurd. Her work rethinks the idea of historical sequence through the assembly of fragments generated by failures. This interest is grounded in the earlier research on how space is perceived across multiple species. These explorations created worlds where the subjective spatial constructs of animals, plants, and humans merge into a composite whole that appears other than its parts, yet is composed of nothing beyond them.
