Ir:c Solza (Iр:ць Солза), an artist, poet, researcher, art critic currently based in Bishkek, Kyrgystan. Feminist and queer, pronouns: he\they.
As an artist I create complex installations, art objects, poetic and textual works, art books, video art and performances. My practice revolves around themes such as fluidity and resistance, queer experience, religious concepts outside the context of the religious canon (miracle, martyrdom), liberation practices, anarchic virtual communities and spaces, criticism of totalitarian political reality, institutional criticism and research into the boundaries of censorship, the creation of a Kafkaesque non-existent people and a choir of dubious voices, and the feminist study of the human body as the boundaries of the individual and public.
