Andrey Ustinov (*1975, Luga, former USSR) is a performance and media artist based in Berlin who explores themes of #technologies, #perception, #property, #resources, #power and mostly works in public space. The main focus of his work is the cognitive activity of pedestrians and citizens’ claims to power, their idiosyncratic purpose of the objects in public space. Most of his works have a performative approach, where he either performs by himself or initiates a situation inviting the audience or passers-by to take part in a performative experience. His intent is not to put on a show but to catch people off guard and force them to be aware of their perception and become performers themselves.
