AES+F’s Turandot reinterprets Puccini’s classic, following the commission from the Teatro Comunale di Bologna in June 2019. This new conceptualization leds the characters of the opera to a future location. Puccini’s work, which already had strong feminist values, is remixed by bringing it in conjunction with a hypermediatized and technological world.

- Artist
AES+F (Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovich, Evgeny Svyatsky and Vladimir Fridkes) has been exploring the possibilities of combining modern technology, Hollywood cinema, fashion photography, advertising, mass media, popular culture and youth obsession with the classical aesthetic of old masters’ paintings since the forming of the group in 1987, visualising and presenting a world for the viewers that is rather familiar yet mysterious and alienated. Their digital collage of real-life photographs and animated landscape/objects blurs and defies the line between reality and fantasy, history and time, constructing a futuristic mythological metaphor for the present through their glamorous, seductive yet alarming, artificially hyper-realistic imageries. AES was first formed in 1987, and in 1995 it became AES+F; the artists currently live and work in Moscow.

Senda is passionate about creation, it values and supports the talent, risk and singularity found in young and established artists, both national and international, defending each individual’s value while avoiding closed minded programs or narrow lines of thought. We believe in the value of diversity and the richness of its multiple languages, and we try to identify singular worlds in which we can be reflected and grow together.
Since 1991, we have been actively working as a gallery, and from now on we are expanding our actions towards other art services. Moreover, we are closely linked to other projects such as LOOP Barcelona, the world reference video art fair; and Talking Galleries, an initiative that promotes debate and discussions towards the development of the art industry.
It is important for us to continue collaborating with artists that trust our work and participate as well as support their creative process so that new projects come to light, inside or outside of the gallery space and to equally serve as support to institutions or third parties with their artistic endeavors.
