In Diana Kapizova’s "Magical Transformation" (2024), a video and performance, a fur-clad figure moves on a rocky lakeshore, facing a forested horizon beneath a muted sky, embodying a liminal state between human and animal.
The scene’s stillness and the figure’s ambiguous form challenge the boundaries of identity, positioning the subject in a space of ontological flux.
Diana’s work probes the fragility of the human when confronted with the wild, suggesting a transformation that dissolves anthropocentric certainty.
It becomes a meditation on becoming-other, where the self is reimagined as part of a non-human continuum, caught in a haunting, unresolved shift.
