Katarina Balunova (1982) 

is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and scholar working across painting, performance, installation, video, and text. Her practice explores utopia as a shifting field—interweaving historical narratives, symbolic structures, and speculative imaginaries within contemporary urban and ecological contexts. 

Approaching time as cyclical and embodied, she reconfigures relations between body, habitat, and collective myth. Across media she creates situations where image, action, and space function as interconnected systems, often suggesting broader, more universal modes of perception. 

Geometry figures centrally as both a visual language and a conceptual tool for organizing reality and imagined spatial orders. A recurring motif is the three-faced figure—postgender entities mediating between past and future, the biological and the technological, spirituality and science fiction. 

Through this visual vocabulary, her work proposes a speculative cosmology where archaic symbols converge with contemporary imaginaries. Engaging utopia as an ambivalent condition—both critique and projection—she brings architecture, memory, and myth into dialogue with current ecological and social realities.
