Evy Jokhova

(b 1984, United Kingdom. Lives and works in Lisbon and London)

Jokhova is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice engages with social anthropology; architecture; philosophy and art. She considers the relationships between these fields through drawing; sculpture; installation; film; sound and participatory events in an attempt to loosen the hierarchical structures within them. Engaging with everyday life and the possible and impossible futures imagined by architects; city planners; historians and politicians; she surveys the disparity between plans and reality. Her work is characterised by a pared-down aesthetic and a muted palette; which she uses to draw into landscape and architectural space; and to create sculptural objects with an intentionally ambiguous materiality.
