ARTIFACT J is a second collaborative installation by Aïda Adilbek and Roman Zakharov and marks a new stage of their collaborative artistic practice, as well as of collective labour since the installation was handmade by members of the MATA collective.

VIOLATOR II is an extension of the Violator performance project, where Adilbek wonders what the word 'violator' means in the current times of political instability in Kazakhstan and the whole world.
The inconsistency of today's world justice system leads me to the conclusion that we are all violators and we are all winners.

FLOW was a basis of my research preparation for the Degree project which developped into Send me your words.

In FLOW I made a mould of an iron cast radiator and casted it out of expanding foam. Setting a dramatic light on suspended sculptures I enhance the visibility of commonly stealthy infrastructural communication systems that are vital in the apartamental housings.
