GREAT STONE
Lesia Pcholka's work explores the intersection of technology, gender and politics, and examines the cultural dichotomy of migration. She draws an analogy between Belarus and China, imagining them as a coalition of cultural spaces and reflecting on how these exchanges reshape everyday practices. Pcholka intertwines these themes by transforming the technique of macramé. The knotted ropes with embedded cameras symbolise the interplay between control and cultural communication. She uses rope installations, photographs, videos and objects such as tea tables in the shape of the country's geographical borders, combined with security cameras that reveal repressive tactics.
Her work reveals perspectives of unification within global power structures. By reimagining the gallery space as a botanical garden, she draws parallels between the interconnectedness of cultural traditions - such as the roots of plants - and technological systems. This transformation invites reflection on both the visible political dialogues and the invisible, often overlooked communications that shape society. Pcholka's work bridges the physical and the digital, the personal and the political.
