In 2014 together with Anton Kryvulia founded Rabota. From the beginning of the joint work, artists consider their life as a performative readymade. They continuously use circumstances as a plot, personal belongings, and photo-video documentation as a material for creating performative installations and procedural objects. In the focus of Rabota appears the autonomy and political aspect of the phenomenon of presence. One of the main concepts employed by artists to explain their work is Nonknowledge.
