Mark Cinkevich is an alias of an interdisciplinary artist and researcher from Lahoysk, Belarus. By exploring how infrastructural and social landscapes intersect, he looks into the topics of nuclear colonialism, extractivism, and monstrosity. His practice combines research, investigation, and speculative approaches, with particular attention to the post-Soviet context. He received his master’s degree in Cultural Studies from the university of Helsinki and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in the department of Anthropology in the University of Warsaw.
Together with Anna Engelhard, Mark Cinkevich was part of the 2022 Digital Art Residency programme in collaboration with Pro Helvetia. During the two-month residency, Anna and Mark worked on the film project Nonscalar Transmission which was shown at the transmediale 2023 festival edition.
