Natalija Gucheva (she/they)


(1998, Skopje) | Based in Ghent, Belgium
                                   
Gucheva is an artist who explores spirituality in contemporary society by working across various mediums. She believes that spirituality is multidimensional and complex, and her work seeks to address this complexity by examining our relationship with nature, the divine, and the communities we find ourselves in.

She invites us to imagine a post-human world, where our relationship with technology, nature, and spirituality is transformed. She encourages us to think about our own personal utopias and to consider how we can contribute to a better future through re-imagining our relationship with the world around us and embracing a more holistic and interconnected way of being.

Currently pursuing her master's degree in Fine Arts at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent, Belgium.

(X)ARCADIA


‘(X)ARCADIA' reflects on the complexities and nuances of contemporary escapism, while also exposing the potential implications of our increasing reliance on technology as a means of disconnecting from the realities of the world around us. The piece examines the allure of escaping into alternate realities and the potential consequences of such behavior.

The narration draws upon the mythological concept of Arcadia, a symbol of unspoiled and idyllic wilderness, to highlight the human desire for untouched and natural experiences. However, the video juxtaposes this yearning with a digitized, virtual world that emphasizes the detachment of mechanical from organic movement.

The use of digital media and technology raises questions about authenticity and intimacy in a world where distance and separation are becoming increasingly prevalent. This creates a tension between what is live and what is digital, and what is considered real and what is fabricated.
