Alexander Nikolsky is an artist, researcher and teacher from the coal-rich Kuzbass region of Western Siberia. He works with photography, video and objects. Rooted in the philosophical traditions of «dark ecology» and «flat ontologies», his work explores relationships between human, things and nature, where physical space, objects and human practices act as active and equal participants in the interaction.
