Deconstructed Tales - art practice

In the artist's words:

Deconstructed Tales is a contemporary art practice by Alina strelkovskaia, exploring how people navigate, perceive and construct meaning within urban environments.

An inhabited space - be it city, town or village - is never a neutral setting; it is a palimpsest of historical layers, cultural signs and psychotopographic frequencies. In Deconstructed Tales community workshops, we bypass conventional landmarks and focus on the incongruent, odd, sociologically revealing objects and areas - and how they become meaningful to us in an individual way.

Her artistic practice balances on the threshold between analytical and visceral, exploring the intersections of psychotopography, individual and collective trauma, and mythos of place.
