Maria Agureeva works across media with installations, objects, videos, performances and photography to develop a practice where she examines embodiment and interactions with the social environment. “My job as an artist is to practice investigation of what lies beneath the external phenomena that inhabit mainstream culture. I focus on the tension between what is considered normal and subjective in relation to the human body: I look into how we model ourselves in the world of clichéd attractiveness, which pushes us to polish our own image just as people polish billions of images on the Internet. I am interested the exploration of boundaries behind which the body becomes an object like any other.”
