Sofiia Zeifert (RU)
Video installation that explores the body as a site of violence, vulnerability, and transformation. Through the tattooing of a silicone human-like sculpture, wrath becomes both a sacred ritual and an act of redemption. Combining mechanical movement, video projection, and sound, the work reflects on identity, desire, and cultural expectations, inviting spectators to experience bodily empathy and confront the fragile boundaries between suffering and beauty, the other and the self.
Sofiia Zeifert is an interdisciplinary artist working with performance, time-based media, and bio-materials. With a background in journalism, photo modeling, and contemporary dance, she explores body, memory, and technological mediation, forming her interest in physicality as an emotional and kinetic image expressed through visual media. Her works include What The Skin Says (Ars Electronica Campus Exhibition, 2023) and ETERNAL FLAMES (Ars Electronica Campus Exhibition, 2025).
