Triumph Gallery presents Polina Shilkinite’s solo exhibition Nocturne. The artist’s practice is dedicated to the theme of memory and the reinterpretation of space through the lens of personal and collective experience. The imagery in her works is shaped by memories of the northern latitudes of Murmansk—the city where Polina lived until the age of twelve. Memory, capable of preserving experiences more vividly and precisely than the actual outlines of places, becomes the artist’s point of departure in working with artificial intelligence technologies.

The artist’s practice is dedicated to the theme of memory and the reinterpretation of space through the lens of personal and collective experience.

Memory, capable of preserving experiences more vividly and precisely than the actual outlines of places, becomes the artist’s point of departure in working with artificial intelligence technologies.
In the process of image generation, Polina Shilkinite explores the logic of algorithms, seeking a visual language capable of conveying subjective sensations associated with Murmansk. This search shifts her artistic statement toward abstract, pseudo-scientific, and dreamlike forms, where memory emerges as an autonomous artistic category. The works presented in the exhibition are devoted to the phenomenon of the polar night. The visual language of the series is shaped by a cold blue-violet palette and fluorescent glow effects, referencing both the northern lights and the urban visual environment with its abundance of neon signage.

Realistic fragments of landscape and horizon lines merge with glitch effects and migrating color fields, forming an image of the city as a space where personal and historical memory intersect with the real and the imagined. In a number of works, schematic graphs and diagrams are used, referring to utopian scientific projects of the Soviet period related to the exploration and transformation of the North. These motifs intensify the dialogue between human memory and the algorithmic logic underlying the artistic process.
