One of the leading SPb galleries ANNA NOVA now is housing the exhibition of two artists - Ustina Yakovleva (Rus) and Sylvia Javen (Fin) that is dedicated to the concept of psychogeography on the Russian-Finnish border and is open till June 5. 'The Storyteller'is the title of the exhibition that provides with the artists' spatial stories. And it sounds romantic - divided geographically, with Ustina residing in Russia and Silvia in Finland, the artists first met on Kotlin Island, which both separates and simultaneously unites their home countries. Inspired by its secluded environments, Ustina and Sylvia transformed the island’s geographical terrain into an artistic narration – filled with poetic metaphors and their personal emotions. This is what psychogeography is all about, humans' spatial perception. bonus-track: read an essay on psychogeography on ODRA platform we published among the first texts.
