Shekel & Anubis Agency, Galerie Dix9, Paris, 2026 © Dmitry Kostyukov

Ritual-based sculpture project by Arina Antonova Curated by Azad Asifovich

The project Shekel & Anubis Agency draws inspiration from Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, specifically from the fictional funeral home run by Mr. Jacquel (Anubis) and Mr. Ibis. In her new body of work, Arina Antonova reimagines contemporary funerary urns, reliquaries, and mourning vessels, not as sterile, industrially produced items, but as tactile, emotional, and customizable forms of radical care and transition. The series comprises six sculptural urns and a central fountain titled Fountain of Lamentation. These urns are not merely containers for ashes; they are bodies themselves interactive, decorable, and sensorial vessels meant to accompany the living in their grief rituals and the dead in their symbolic passage.

My Matanza installation will be part of BeCraft at the Grande Halle des Anciens Abattoirs in Mons — a powerful exhibition gathering around sixty artists from twelve European countries around the theme of slaughterhouses.

Matanza draws on a photographic family archive and childhood memories of the pig slaughter I witnessed at my grandmother’s house in Crimea. Today I live in Mallorca, where matanza still exists as a family tradition in rural households. The work bridges personal memory with place, linking past and present, ritual and consumption.

Opening: 07.03.26, 19:00 → 21:00
Tuesday → Sunday, 12:00 → 18:00

14.03.25 - 26.04.25

An exhibition that reimagines home as a perception rather than a fact. A feeling rather than a form. It dissects the domestic structure and reconfigures it in clusters of activities that make what we call home, drawing a series of layers from the public to the private space.

SLOW brings together six international artists who’ve made Mallorca their home, drawn by its slower pace and the quiet pull of its landscapes. The island isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a collaborator—its rhythms and stillness seeping into their work. This isn’t about escape but about attunement: to nature, to each other, to the overlooked.

I’ll show vessels from my No Name project, forms that live between function and ritual, art and craft. They speak to the unseen, to the care and labor that go unnoticed yet hold everything together. In the context of SLOW, these pieces ask what it means to pause, to look closer, and to acknowledge the weight of the small, essential acts that sustain us.
