Triumph Gallery and Smena Center of Contemporary Culture present a solo exhibition by Zukhra Salakhova titled "Wardrobe." The primary material of the project is textile: the artist uses fabric and embroidery to create both miniature works and large-scale installations that come together to form a unified narrative.
Fabric becomes a shared matter capable of taking on different forms—living and non-living, singular and multiple, definite and indeterminate. In Metamorphoses by Ovid, which served as a point of departure for Salakhova’s project, transformation is described through changes in being and identity. Through mythology, as well as mental and physical transformations of form, the interconnectedness of humans and nature is affirmed. As forms undergo transformation, nothing that exists disappears; it merely changes. According to Salakhova, this view of the world emphasizes the connection between all beings and objects, leaving space for the marvelous and the wondrous.

Each exhibition hall unfolds as a separate narrative. The textile installation "Anthill" resembles a kaleidoscope: vivid segments, numerous details, and characters and situations flowing into one another. In another room, within the figures of running horses, one can notice small silhouettes of people in motion, illustrating the emergence of one form from another as a rapid and unstoppable process. In the next space, seemingly abstract objects are presented, encapsulating the flows of life.
Zukhra Salakhova (b. 1997, Kazan) graduated in 2019 from the Kazan Art College named after Nikolai Feshin with a degree in decorative and applied arts and folk crafts. Since 2022, she has been a member of the curatorial collective Plague. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Russia and abroad. A resident artist of the Smena Center and a regular participant in its artistic programs, she lives and works in Kazan.
