Yuliia Syrenkov
Yuliia Syrenkov is one of the artists selected for Belonging - a new virtual exhibition that is part of our residency programme Artists Connecting in Transition (ACT).
After Russia invaded Ukraine Yuliia fled to the Czech Republic and then to the UK. She is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist working with film photography, drawing, and printing. Developing art photography, Yuliia combines printing techniques, chemical and organic processes, and assistant materials to get closer to conveying ideas and perspectives: the idea of nostalgia and the connection between “place” and “memory”.
Yuliia also aims to explore collective trauma: how it’s inherited across generations, and its personal impact nowadays. Her recent artwork is presented as a zine about the personal experience of dissociative amnesia, based on the combination of photos of washed clothes with pictures of stains. She was a participant in the virtual group exhibition "On the Move" for Analog Forever Magazine and has exhibited her displaced photo works "Orthodoxy" and "Milfoil" on the walls of the NewBridge Project bookshop in Newcastle.
