Timur Si-Qin’s multidisciplinary work defies easy categorization. His interest in biology, psychology, and philosophy informs his hybrid practice that combines nature, culture, and media technology. Using new technologies like 3D printing, he creates provocative sculptural installations that explore evolutionary biological predispositions to how we see and process images. His practice is focused on revealing evidence of deep primordial impulses on current cultural trends related to materialism, taste, and desire.
