Andrey Ustinov
Andrey Ustinov’s website showcases his work as a fine art photographer with a focus on urban and architectural themes. The portfolio features a series of carefully composed images that explore the interplay of light, shadow, and geometry within cityscapes. His photographs often highlight overlooked details and structural forms, creating a dialogue between the built environment and abstract visual elements. The collection emphasizes minimalist aesthetics and a contemplative approach to capturing modern urban spaces. The site also includes editorial projects and personal works, providing insight into Ustinov’s broader artistic vision. His style is characterized by precise framing and a nuanced use of monochrome and muted color palettes, which contribute to a sense of calm and introspection. Through his photographs, Ustinov examines the interaction between human presence and architectural design, focusing on patterns that emerge from everyday urban scenes.

This sound walk invites participants to listen to a mix of texts, sounds and songs that explore plant-human relationships, while guiding them through an urban or rural environment of their choice. Through encounters with vegetal life along the way, the walk aims to highlight relationships between plants and people, linking these to the era of the Plantationocene, which ‘points to the ongoing socioecological consequences of plantation agriculture’ (Davis et al. 2019, p.2-3). The guided, interactive encounters of this walk reveal the ways in which our relationships with plants are still guided by the logic of the plantation, highlighting damaging colonial legacies that persist for plants, people and the relations between them through felt, material engagements with vegetal growth. In addition, the walk prompts questions as to the future of plant-human relations in the context of the current climate and biodiversity crises. It proposes small acts which can transform how we think about, care for, and entangle ourselves with vegetal growth where we live, offering respect and care for the differing needs of these species to flourish, and a felt understanding that an ‘ecosystem is not a machine, but a community of sovereign beings’ (Wall Kimmerer 2013, p.331).
