Kirill Gluschenko’s (b. 1983, Kaliningrad) work sees him as head of a fictional publishing house called ‘Gluschenkoizdat Press’, of which he is also the sole employe — a reporter of sorts — who spends his time visiting towns in Russia and former Eastern bloc, to take photograph and publish books about them. This project took its final form in an exhibition ‘Our Days are Rich and Bright’ (2016). Over the years his practice developed into artistic research and working with archives. In 2020 he directed film ‘Moscow Lights’ for 2nd Garage Triennal. Gluschenko holds an MA in Photography from Lepzig Academy of Fine Arts. Currently he is a PhD candidate at the Estonian Academy of Arts.
