Margo calls
the Russian avant-garde her source of inspiration: utopian ideas captivate
Margot as an object of desire, reflection: memory and doubt, comprehension
through the prism of history. Margo Trushina explores metaphors and ways of
interacting with the environment through light installations, sculpture,
photography and interventions. Plants, metals, wood and found objects,
ready-made: so the artist contrasts organic and artificial, intentionally
created – and forms her "fragile worlds".
