Anna Bogouchevskaia - Shouldn't Be Gone

Anna Bogouchevskaia (b. Moscow, 1966; lives and works in Berlin) sees her work in sculpture as a geopolitical engagement with concerns on the intersection between figuration and abstraction. Macroscopic aluminum drops, bizarre bronze flowers, fog and snow made of silver- the artist, a committed environmentalist, has created a peculiar and fascinating world of evanescent natural phenomena. Focusing on two molecules- carbon dioxide and water- in their various states of aggregation, she draws attention to the threats posed by climate change.

The publication Shouldn' t be gone presents Bogouchevskaia' s most recent works since 2019: an urgent message of warning from an artist whose sculptural oeuvre even today has the air of a monument to a world in demise.
