Victor Alimpiev & Marian Zhunin

° 1973

Born in Moscow (RU), lives in Moscow (RU).

Victor Alimpiev (°1973, Moscow, Russia) and Marian Zhunin (°1968, Moscow, Russia). Alimpiev made a name for himself internationally as an artist who attaches great importance to cinematic aspects, but the almost ritual movements of his protagonists - according to a script - show that his oeuvre belongs to the tradition of performing arts. Video artists Alimpiev and Zhunin have also contributed to theater productions.

Victor Alimpiev examines the relationship between the individual and the collective, and the subtleties of human behaviour. In his videos he captures performances in a tight choreography. He uses elements of modern dance, experimental theater, music and painting. The human-to-mass relationship is also an important theme in the work of filmmaker and video artist Marian Zhunin.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
