Il’ya Zhura enters the Curated Program with two new works that expand their hybrid investigation into gesture, glitch, and perception.
Dancing in the mirror - Video work, 2025
A choreography of AI fragments reassembled through scans and distortions, unfolding unstable identities in flux.
Flashback - Digital work, 2025
An edition shaped by analog cuts and layered interference, where AI images dissolve into hybrid perception.
Zhura’s practice moves across collage, intervention, and analog distortion.
Their recent works extend these strategies into AI imagery, using physical manipulations to destabilize the authority of the system output.
Each work unfolds as a mutable surface, where gesture, error, and interference operate as generative forces.
Il’ya Zhura is an artist based in Brooklyn, with a background that spans graffiti, dance, photography, and independent publishing. Their current work investigates the relation between physical gesture and technological image, cultivating a hybrid language shaped by mutation and matter in flux.
