Šūtum
Slava Romanov is a data artist and multimedia designer based in Bremen. His artistic work is driven by the desire to initiate social and institutional change. In his recent works, the artist mainly deals with feelings of loneliness and fear. He also examines the public’s loss of trust in institutions and the media, as in his work “Šūtum”.
Here he deals with the transience of man-made institutions and laws. To do this, he uses both lasers and photochromic pigments, which look different depending on the incidence of light. In this way, he creates a connection between the subject matter and the medium used.
