Dubovska Margo
Life imitates death— the wall work made of cowhide and burned wooden frame (CNC milled). The project draws inspiration from memorial practices such as taxidermy, used not only in museums but also in private homes to commemorate lost pets. This intersection raises questions about when death imitates life and vice versa in the quest for survival. In these new works, laser engraving on the cowhide mounted within a burned wooden frame is a direct reference to photography as one of the accessible ways of preserving memory.
Margo Dubovska is an artist born in Kyiv, currently based in Vienna, where she studies Transmedia Art at the University of Applied Arts (die Angewandte). Working primarily with sculpture, she explores political and colonial themes through the lens of memory, creating delicate yet unsettling objects.
Alongside her artistic practice, Margo Dubovska is the co-founder of Kriegsbilder, a Vienna-based event series where she currently works as co-curator and graphic designer.
