Filipp Yakushin (b. 1998, Tomsk, Russia) is an artist working with photography, video, and sculpture, based in Vienna, Austria.

Artist Statement:

My practice explores the tension between holding on and letting go. I seek to reconnect fragments that are falling apart, preserving traces of memory while acknowledging the necessity of release. This process becomes a means of self-understanding, where preservation allows for eventual detachment. Shaped by my experience of migration – from Russia to Germany and later to Austria – my work reflects a continuous negotiation of identity, belonging, and transition. My working process often takes place in the darkroom, where I engage with analog materials as a central element of my practice, experimenting with wax, biomaterials such as mycelium, and chemical manipulations.
