Working across installation and live performance, Khrystyna Kirik translates imperceptible phenomena into sensory experience — seismic traces of explosions, bioelectric rhythms of plants, digital topographies of the body — approaching sound as a primary medium of investigation into what escapes direct perception. Drawing on posthumanist and new materialist thought, her work distributes agency across human and non-human actors, incorporating found objects and sounds embedded in contested landscapes into site- and context-driven projects. Ecological crisis and the physical realities of war function as conditions rather than subjects. This attentiveness to environment — to what territories hold and emit — she terms hyper-ambience. Recent works include a collaboration with Mark Bain, as well as a project with u2203 studio and ecologist Anna Kuzemko examining natural territories affected by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Beyond her solo practice, she has created space for collective making through Sound-box and the Found Object Residency. Her work has been presented at CTM Festival, Kantine am Berghain, and Conflux Festival, among others; she was part of the SHAPE+ catalogue 2024–25.
