We continue our introduction of “Brieftopia: Art Between Crisis and Imagination” with the Bulgarian artist Lexi Fleurs.
Lexi Fleurs is a contemporary artist working in film, painting, photography, and research-based work.
Her works are part of the collection of MAMCO Geneva and International House New York.
She holds an MFA from SVA NYC with a Fulbright scholarship and a BFA from HEAD Geneva.
Lexi Fleurs works as a freelance war documentalist and has been documenting the war in Ukraine since 2024.
In the exhibition, the new video work I Hate War and War Hates Me juxtaposes fragments of her visual communication with her friend in Ukraine.
Through them, we trace shifting emotional states—often with a comic effect—set against quiet, seemingly idyllic landscapes in which military operations are nevertheless unfolding.
The project is realised with financial support from procedure BG-RRP-11.021, New Generation of Local Cultural Policies for Large Municipalities, Investment Development of Cultural and Creative Sectors, Component Social Inclusion, National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
