Igor e Svetlana Kopystiansky


biography

Igor Kopystiansky, Lvov, Ukraine, 1954.

Svetlana Kopystiansky, Voronez, Russia, 1950.

Live and work in New York.

 

Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky are a couple of conceptual artists who, since 1988, live and work in New York , creating works both individually and in collaboration with one another. Concentrating mostly on media such as photography, video and slide-projection, over the years Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky have developed a body of works that combine everyday poetry and conceptual rigor. Their research into the nature of languages and the media based on recording the passing of time – such as video, cinema and photography – goes beyond the limits of purely formal research and touches on themes such as memory, the fragility of human existence and the unconscious.
