“In ORNAMENT – as in Anna Sokolova’s earlier works – the interaction between the architectural environments and the sculptural potential of the moving image stands at the heart of her artistic investigation. In her video installation ORNAMENT, presented at the “New Talents” exhibition, Anna Sokolova invites the viewer to participate in a reflection on the boundaries of a medial extension of the concept of ornament.” Lioudmila Voropai, from the catalogue “new talents – biennale cologne 2010”
