Anton Bundenko’s exhibition is an exploration of invisible systems and cultural crossings that shape the modern reality. The artist works with huge amounts of data, processes and interactions where technology, ecology, social structures and cultural contexts are intertwined.
His personal story is an immersion in the multilayered fabric of the world, spanning Russia, Central Asia, and China. Different cultural layers overlap and engage in dialogue, forming complex, seamless systems, much like the global flow of data in the digital age. Today, as the world seeks new forms of local resilience, these connections become even more complex and meaningful.
Anton currently lives and works in China, a country where technology is not only advanced but also deeply integrated into everyday life. This is a space where artificial intelligence, digital services, smart cities, and automation intertwine with ancient cultural codes, creating a unique context for observation and artistic interpretation.
In Anton’s work, this complexity takes on a tangible form. The monumental panels, crafted from resin and filled with visual and textual elements, serve as a kind of
«Time capsules» and artifacts of the future. Here, data from the past, correlations of the present, and predictions of the future are combined, all recorded in a material that, like an archaeological find from the future, endures through the ages.
The objects act as references to the sacred and the eternal: they may seem to have been found among the ruins of ancient civilizations or to have arrived from a future where time has lost its linearity. In these works, there is no single point of reference; they exist outside of time, in a space where technology and culture become material manifestations of human and non-human memory.
