Bogdan Ablozhnyy’s practice is critically engaged with the rhetoric of an image and exists at the intersection of sculpture and photography, often finding form in arrangements that occupy multiple spatial and signification levels. This continuous investigation in endless constellations and spatial worlds in his practice ranges from ensembles of objects, material artifacts and immaterial phenomena within ‘enclosed’ space, to the way temporality is approached in each iteration of the piece. Working with images is a continuous process of analysis that operates in his life as an artist, inside and outside the studio, as a carnet to note formal complexities, as a documentary support for the analysis of sculptures or installations, or as an output and considered as a final work. While the imagery, objects and physical spaces that Ablozhnyy create are often directed at such states as lack, fracture, absence, loss and illusion he tries to escape any sort of unilateral categorization and extract imagery from the most personal of experiences – moments from his own life, but also – and perhaps more hauntingly – those that belonged to others.
