Marina Fedorova's cosmic dreams expand boundaries of the possible

Cosmodreams: Elementa was an exhibition project hosted recently in Fann A Porter gallery, Dubai. Conceived by artist Marina Fedorova, the immersive presentation took one into an extraordinary world, reflecting her perception of cosmic space and her thoughts on the universe.

Enhanced by augumented reality features and a virtual museum, the exhibition offered interactive properties. Cosmodreams was not only in the form of a series of large scale paintings, but also sculptures and objets d'art. To ensure all pieces of the puzzle palace fit together, a viewer had to explore each thematic cluster sequentially. An ultra-high definition 8k video, Space Art Odyssey, was based on Fedorova's script and visual sketches and was an independent artwork within the Cosmodreams universe. For Marina, space is not only a cosmic domain, but also a metaphysical state. All, including people of different generations and backgrounds, art connoisseurs, technology buffs and those tracking space news, can inhabit it. “I see the whole universe as our home and the space as a friendly and comfortable living environment. This is my idealistic vision,” says Marina. Gulf Today opens its space for her.
