Nikita Shokhov is a New York-based artist. He has been exploring various aspects of the human condition in his visual art practice; some of them are humanism in modern technology, the human unconscious, the carnivalesque, whiteness and blackness, and queer phenomenology. His works discourse critical thinking, philosophy, documentary approach, and political and social agendas. Nikita has always worked with lens-based media, from traditional photography to volumetric cinematic forms. In his current practice, he uses a real-time 3D graphics engine, immersive media, and moving images, synthesizing physical performance and interactive digital worlds in a unified time-space.
