Hard and Fast Lines

Hard and fast lines are incompatible with the theory of evolution – even the boundary lines between vertebrates and invertebrates are no longer fixed, nor are those between fish and amphibians, and the distinctions between birds and reptiles are disappearing more and more every day.

Friedrich Engels formulated this thought between 1873 and 1886 in his work Dialectics of Nature. In doing so, he opened a door to new possibilities of thinking, which later resurfaced in gender theories and debates on sex and society. Today, this discourse extends beyond humanity itself, as the boundaries between the body and the cybernetic and algorithmic systems that increasingly influence perception and knowledge are becoming ever more fluid.
Identity, therefore, is not a fixed state but an interplay of forces, influences, and opposites. Identities can dissolve or merge into one another. New forms emerge from the inner contradictions of reality, and a definitive either-or stands in opposition to everything that is alive.

Anna Khodorkovskaya works with drawing, painting, mosaic, as well as installations and participatory projects, and is frequently active in various art collectives. She also develops her artistic projects in public spaces. In recent years, she has been deeply involved in community projects, using interdisciplinary techniques and experimental communication methods to realize her work. Through this approach, she explores the social impact of art and its ability to foster dialogue and engagement in diverse communities. In her figurative works, physicality takes center stage—intense, raw, and deliberately fractured. Inspired by AI-generated images and digital representations from various sources, she intentionally distorts bodily forms, challenging fundamental notions of human boundaries.

Sascha Alexandra Zaitseva develops films, installations, and interventions that make social tensions visible. Her work engages with ruptures, transitions, and contradictions—within social structures, cultural narratives, and both personal and collective experiences. In addition to these process-oriented approaches, she also creates sculptural objects in the classical sense of sculpture, primarily working with ceramics and deliberately exploring its physical and formal properties. Her artistic practice is characterized by a precise, often poetic visual language that does not aim for unambiguous readings but rather invites an open play of meanings. She is interested in what changes, shifts, dissolves, or takes on new forms: in fragility and resistance, in processes of transformation, and in the spaces that emerge within them.
