Lyoudmila Milanova is a media artist who works across the boundaries of video, installation and performance. She is fascinated by the nature of the process, the gradual change, by those tiny, almost invisible moments of transitions when the standstill turns to movement, the static to the kinetic, or vice versa. Milanova’s recent work focuses on natural phenomena and their extreme technical accessibility. Her ongoing projects deal with the human desire to control nature and the failure of it.
Since 2016, Lyoudmila Milanova has been curating the daily after dark videoscreening “Capri by Night ” capribynight.com at Britney, the new location of Schauspiel Köln at Offenbachplatz, in the heart of the city, directly next to the six-lane freeway, connecting north and south of the city. This one hour program runs in a continuous loop from dusk to 3am and changes in a monthly rhythm.
