Evy Jokhova

(b 1984Switzerland. Lives and works in Lisbon and London)

Jokhova is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice engages with social anthropology, architecture, philosophy and art. She considers the relationships between these fields through drawing, sculpture, installation, film, sound and participatory events in an attempt to loosen the hierarchical structures within them.

Engaging with everyday life and the possible and impossible futures imagined by architects, city planners, historians and politicians, she surveys the disparity between plans and reality. Her work is characterised by a pared-down aesthetic and a muted palette, which she uses to draw into landscape and architectural space, and to create sculptural objects with an intentionally ambiguous materiality.
