Some shots from my personal show ‘the exhibition is clouded’ in @surgery.gallery :) come visit until 17.04! So many thanks to Bjorn Hatleskog and @lublu_effgenka for support and patience 🫶🏻 Shoreditch is luv, see u there :)
For this presentation, I transformed the exhibition surface into one large-scale artwork, extending my signature Steampun-k series beyond the conventional frame. The gallery’s showcase windows become a single unified object - a vast expanse of misted glass bearing traces of fleeting communication.
The casual finger drawings on fogged mirrors or glass have no relation to the original steampunk genre. Instead, I playfully pun on the term, reinterpreting it through a new visual language.
Here, the gallery’s transparency turns into opacity. The street and the exhibition space are separated by a veil of condensation - one that instinctively invites the viewer to peer beyond it. The title itself, The Exhibition Is Clouded, functions both as a description and a visual pun, announcing its own obscurity. Beneath the title, schematic rectangular frames are drawn as if outlining pictures on a wall - a playful suggestion that these are, in fact, the artworks on display.
The remaining drawings in the installation evoke what passersby and local residents, children, hooligans, and I myself might have scrawled had this been real fogged glass.
on view temporarily permanently only 🌬️🌫️

If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.
