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.

“...For the exhibition in Extrapool, she is looking into how the properties of food can be implemented for more than just consumption for energy. She invites her audience to sit around a table and create an enumeration of emotions, feelings and personal stories through the format of recipes. The work, boiling point: soft walls & open hearts revolves around the juxtaposition between openness and the culinary. Natalija finds it interesting to remove personal boundaries and to be just one step closer to each other in order to understand each other better.

She finds it important in her work not only to present herself as a maker, but also to give the audience a role in her work. Through interactive performance, she hopes to be able to reach the audience better and initiate self reflection. There are also ceramic works, candles and sage for spiritual rituals, but in the end it's all to support the concept and give the audience a moment where they can enter full tranquility.”
