Yuri Yefanov - Urbane Künste Ruhr

Yuri Yefanov is an artist and filmmaker from Ukraine. Born in Zaporizhzhia, he grew up in Crimea and graduated from the Kyiv University of Culture and Arts. In his works he uses computer-generated imagery and game simulations to create digital dimensions of otherworldliness. By creating his own systems or mythologies Yuri Yefanov examines the interactions of everyday life and politics. The artist’s projects have been shown at numerous film festivals and exhibitions in Europe and North America, most recently in Dortmunder Kunstverein (2024) and at the Rotterdam Film Festival (2024) amongst others. In 2022 and 2023 Yuri Yefanov was a resident of the programme Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr.
