Based in Germany, Victor Timofeev is an artist who explores something of an alternate universe. Utopia, maybe? His work, featured on Dazed Digital, is part recognizable and part abstract, making for mounds of interpretation possibilities.
Imagine a desolate honeycomb-filled land with no creatures around -- that's what Victor Timofeev's dream-like pieces can conjure up. The artist himself, however, explains that "MONSTROcity is the thirteenth subnetwork on the masterLAN that is the global village."
Through intersecting narratives that explore space and hybrid realities, Victor Timofeev makes very real assumptions about a lack of humans through the anthropomorphic objects present in his work. Whether or not you yourself believe in something like a utopia, a peruse through this Timofeev's work will most likely leave you more befuddled than before -- and isn't that what art is all about?
