Karina Akopyan, artist research.
I can relate to this, Karina’s work explores religious and trivial,demotic,folksy, people’s subjects.
Coming from a country where as a woman being raised your are being told that your main priority is to bare children and cook. Where the church hypocrisy is just ridiculous. This is common to be christened purely to be like everyone else. Where “god band aid” is like panacea without any religious beliefs.
As Brian Hugh Warner said in one of the interviews – I don’t hate religion, I just don’t like the way people misuse it.
Karina’s work mocks the Russian society old standards and fetishizes them.
