We’re burning out like the stars, only much much quicker.
Psychological. Astral. Emotional. The burning out of books, communities, cultures and ambitions, of stars, of states and of ourselves. It’s a question of love, repulsion, and eventual exhaustion. Using video, performance, photography and sculpture, Petr Davydtchenko’s new exhibition traces various forms of burnout to the moment just before the fire, in a series of romantic gestures dealing with how we might burnout and not fade away.

Petr Davydtchenko was born in Arzamas, Russia in 1986 and moved to Sweden as a teenager. He graduated from the Konstfack University of Arts in Stockholm before earning a Master’s degree in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in London. A multi-disciplinary artist, Davydtchenko’s work includes performance, video, sculpture, photography and installations.
