Dmitry Gelfand (b. 1974, St. Petersburg, Russia) creates multi-sensory installations and performances prodding the slippery origins of the physical world. Working in tandem with Evelina Domnitch since 1998, Gelfand abandoned the use of solid, fixative and recording media – in favour of liquids, gases, and plasmas permeated by acoustic vibrations and light emissions. The duo’s artworks have emerged through unorthodox collaborations with pioneering research groups, including LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), RySQ (Rydberg Atom Quantum Simulator), and Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft.
