Roman Tkachenko is a visual artist and researcher. Born in Rostov on Don, Russia, he currently lives and works in Amsterdam for over 10 years. His practice is based on investigating the political and social implications of the built environment. To do so, he looks closely at the vulnerabilities, mis/uses and il/legal re/developments of (institutional and/or domestic) architecture and public space. Roman calls himself an architectural dramaturg. He explores the soft borders between factual data and storytelling — how do they affect and inform one- another? He is interested in a narrative of the built environment which exists between non-fiction and fiction, history and present.
