Can’t See,
Can’t Stop Looking
Can’t Stop Looking
Can’t See, Can’t Stop Looking is the debut solo exhibition by London-based artist Polina Filippova, presented at Raleigh Chapel, a newly launched venue for experimental art and sound in Stoke Newington.
Set across the atmospheric chapel interiors, the exhibition brings together sculptural video objects, holographic works, miniature moving-image pieces, interactive installations and new mixed-media works using wax, fragile paper surfaces, sensors and embedded screens.
Figures appear and disappear across the space — hiding behind a tree on screen, suspended on spinning fans, appearing in one darkened portrait, or reduced to intimate handheld scale.
Drawing on personal archives and staged fragments, Filippova creates works that are visually seductive yet emotionally withholding, exploring intimacy, memory and the desire to connect through images.
