Statement
In her video practice, Margarita Maximova focuses on the universality of emotions that are abundantly expressed in the digital era. Stories are told through chat messages, phone transcriptions and personal conversations. Opposed to the fast propulsive and multi-faceted flow of images, her videos possess a welcoming and gentle poetic inertia, expressing the course of time and it’s absence of it.
