a stone’s throw from the Dniester River. She studied art and documentary photography at the Fotografika Academy (St. Petersburg, Russia).
Carolina is interested in everything and nothing at the same time. Carolina likes
to experiment and to walk on the edge of the genre. The beauty of creative process
is the main thing in her works. She works in different media: from photography
and animation to video art and text.
‘When I throw myself in the open sea and just stay still and wait to be rescued, the art process begins’.
Carolina plays in art through contact with nature. Together with Valentin Sidorenko, she makes desperate gambles and she isn’t afraid to create impossible tasks.
Carolina likes to experiment and is open to new practices. Her art projects are connected with the theme of relationships, home, nature and memory. Also, in collaboration with Valentin Sidorenko, she plays with time. They are reminiscing about fairy tales, growing up, and being naughty.
Exhibitions and screenings of her works have been held in the Czech Republic, Serbia, Germany, France, Romania, Guyana, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Transnistria.
