Lydia Belevich (b. 1994, Stockholm, Sweden) works with sculpture, drawing, and installation. Her practice explores philosophical questions relating to the body, media, psychology, and sculptural form itself. Positioning her work at the intersection of these interests, she approaches these questions from a sociological perspective.
In this exhibition, Belevich explores the materiality of the human body and its plasticity, examining evolution in relation to a fragmented capitalist society. The changes happening to us can be difficult to see or imagine. Social changes occur gradually, rendering them undetectable. The concept of man and humanism, like morality, may be social constructs. Over the course of evolution, parts of our body become obsolete and lose their function: wisdom teeth, the tailbone. They remain as traces of our past lives. What if morality will also soon be obsolete?
