Inna Etuvgi - My Magical Way of Thinking

MY MAGICAL WAY OF THINKING
Inna Etuvgiによるファインアート写真プリント

“My magical way of thinking is not about fantasy; it is about empathy. It is the ability to project my own emotions onto the smallest forms of life, finding a mirror for my soul in a single Cladonia lichen.” — Inna Etuvgi

この写真は、人間の意識の拡張としての自然の探究です。この視点は、精霊信仰が儀式のセットではなく、深い知覚を通じた生存の道であるチュクチ人の血統に深く根ざしています。この伝統では、自分自身のシャーマンである必要がある――感覚的で、周到で、あらゆるものの命を感じ取ることができること。

私にとって、このCladonia lichenは神秘的な存在であり、私自身の延長でもあります――私の反映です。そこに冠をつける雨粒は「頭部」となり、複雑な感情や思考を映す透明な器です。これが共感の魔法です――観察者と観察対象の境界線が溶けてしまうのです。

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.”
