Quiet Rituals: A Duo Show by Katya Tsareva and Alexander Tarasenko

From April 29 to May 2, KOPPEL Collective presents Silent Rituals — an exhibition exploring the fragile boundary between observer and observed. Here, the gaze becomes reciprocal: faces seem to look back, turning viewing into an unsettling, shared experience.

The show brings together silicone masks, macrophotography, watercolours and sculptural forms where the human figure dissolves into texture and distortion. Katia Tsareva’s works emerge from fleeting observations of strangers, later reconstructed into shifting, elusive portraits. Alexander Tarasenko explores vulnerability through bodily deformation and performance.

A parallel programme of performances extends these ideas into physical space. Silent Rituals ultimately asks: when does looking at another become a projection of ourselves?
