The sculptural practice of Valentin Korzhov can be summarized as absolute spatiality, heading towards a dynamic aesthetic of space. Under the influence of Heidegger’s phenomenology and its unusual notion of nothingness as the fundamental ground of existence, Korzhov places his sculptural interventions, uncanny narratives on material and self, in the ontological ground zero of the voids. Through the juxtaposition between the eerie sculptural compositions and the physical voids of barren fields and empty surfaces, emerges a third space of unrestrained spatiality.
