Artistic project

For several years Eugenia Reznik has been interested in the stories of uprooted people, regardless of the social, economic, cultural or emotional context. Drawing on her own experience, she realizes that uprooting generates multiple feelings: lack, loss, anger, nostalgia. She works on the following questions: what forms does the feeling of uprooting take? How does it change over time? How does this feeling reflect in the narrative? Its objective is to capture its traces by materializing them in visual projects in which the work is considered as an element of analysis of this societal phenomenon. The artist collects testimonies from different people met through residencies and at random from everyday life. Stories recorded in video, sound or text form have a central place in video or sound installations where documentary pieces (interviews) intersect a visual production (drawings, paintings, video and sound installation, digital devices).
