Voskhod Gallery

Studio visit with CickInDunt cickindunt (Anna & Vitaly Cherepanov) offered a glimpse into their working world—past projects, current experiments, and the everyday atmosphere of their practice. We talked about the “game of life” and why it can be so important to rethink and re-invent its rules.

This idea of re-imagining structures naturally resonated with another central theme in their practice: community and the question of how we live together. As the artists shared:

“At some point we left Russia, guided by the feeling that we wanted to be part of a community. Now we are here, in the Ateliergemeinschaft Mythenquai in Wollishofen, Zurich. It brings together people with different backgrounds and languages—French, Italian, Swiss, German, Russian, Belarusian… For us, this is what matters: building and experiencing communities, exploring how to live together. Not only in one space, not only in one city, but on one planet.”

Their words highlight the essence of their practice: art as a way of connecting and creating spaces of exchange.

"Excessive pretentiousness and excessive figurativeness in my works are what I strive for and what I am often criticised for.”
