About

Eleonora Bourmistrov works in a variety of media ranging from sculpture, painting to site-specific installations and video, exploring issues around transience, instability, time and ruins. Her focus is physical and human worlds  at the point, where things break down, collapse and fall apart – the moments that demonstrate most powerfully the finality of all things.

By means of simulacrum, illusion, parody of building processes, the mixture of genuine and imitated materials, deconstructive techniques and light effects, the artist creates a work that is dark, dramatic and disorienting. It reveals the power of ruination and inevitability but also the beauty of the flux of time and of transitoriness.
