Mark Cinkevich
Mark Cinkevich is a Belarus-born interdisciplinary researcher and artist. In his practice, he is interested in critical, speculative and experimental aspects of art that operate at the intersection of fact and fiction. His work focuses on the post-Soviet infrastructural and social landscape, through which he explores in particular the concepts of nuclear colonialism, infrastructural colonialism, extractivism and monstrosity.
His works have been shown at transmediale in Berlin, steirischer herbst in Graz, the BFI London Film Festival, the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius, Ars Electronica in Linz, and the Aksioma Institute for Contemporary Art in Ljubljana, among others.
Together with Anna Engelhardt, Mark Cinkevich is a participating artist in the Framer Framed exhibition Really? Art and Knowledge in Time of Crisis curated by Mi You and David Garcia. For the exhibition, Engelhardt and Cinkevich developed the film Terror Element, commissioned by Framer Framed with the support of the Netherlands Film Fund and the Creative Industries Fund NL (Immerse/Interact Grant Scheme). Terror Element was later screened as part of transmediale 2025 (Berlin) and exhibited in OFF-Biennále 2025 (Budapest) and Twelve Ten Gallery (Chicago).
Engelhardt and Cinkevich discuss the research behind the film in the Framer Framed podcast Terror Element: The Fragility of Truth in Forensic Science.
