Inna Etuvgi - Once Upon Now - Catawiki Special Edition

ONCE UPON NOW
Inna Etuvgiによるファインアートプリント

私たちは同時にいくつもの時間の層の中で生きている。新技術は侘しい規範と並んで存在し、過去の童話を、私たちがほとんど認識できない世界へ運ぶ。私たちの生活は、最も近い祖先の生活とさえ大きく異なる。何世代にもわたって旅を見守ってきた古代の森は、今やドローンの鋼と回路にささやきかける； 時代が混ざり合う。

未来はすでにここにある、しかし過去もそうだ――私たちは「Once Upon Now」という展開する物語の作者でもあり登場人物でもある交差点に立つ。前へ進むためには、私たちが置き忘れるものを思い出す必要がある。問題は、それを忘れるか、忘れずにいられるかだ。

**Once Upon Now コレクション。

EDITION:

This work is presented in a Special Collector’s Configuration (30 x 37,5 cm image on 33 x 41 cm paper).

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi artist whose work defines the concept of Cybernetic Animism—a bridge between indigenous Arctic intuition and technical precision. Raised in a remote village in Chukotka and trained in technical cybernetics, Etuvgi explores the shared "soul" of natural ecosystems and digital algorithms.

Living with Aphantasia—the inability to visualize mental images—Etuvgi uses her camera and Generative AI as a "visual prosthesis" to externalize deep emotional landscapes. Her macro photography magnifies nature’s smallest details, urging a shift from a human-centered worldview to one of interconnectedness.

Internationally recognized as an Arte Laguna Prize finalist (Venice) and a recipient of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee grant, Etuvgi’s work is held in private collections worldwide. As art critic Tabish Khan notes: “Her work transports us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature.”
