The world famous artistic group AES+F was founded as AES in 1987 by T. Arzamasova, L. Evzovich and E. Svyatsky; with the addition of V. Friedkes in 1995, it became AES+F. The group works at the intersection of traditional media, photography, installation, video and digital technologies. The team is also working on scenography for the theatre. The practice of AES+F is a kind of social psychoanalysis through which the group explores the global values, vices and conflicts of contemporary culture.
AES+F achieved worldwide recognition and exposure in the Russian Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007 with their first multi-channel video installation, "Last Riot" (2007). The next two projects — "The Feast of Trimalchio" (2009) and "Allegoria Sacra" (2011) — were also shown at the Biennale in Venice, Sydney, Moscow and others. AES+F presented its next multi-channel video project "Inverso Mundus" (2015) at the 56th Venice Biennale, the 4th Kochi-Muziris Biennale, the 1st Bangkok Biennale and several others. The group released its first mixed reality installation "Psychosis" in 2017.
The latest multichannel video installation "Turandot 2070" (2021) was presented at the Jeonnam Museum of Art in South Korea in 2021.
