Irek Shamanaev is a contemporary artist working at the intersection of visual perception, time, and the culture of everyday life. His practice includes photography, installations, and kinetic objects that do not merely document reality, but create situations in which time becomes tangible and bodily, rather than an abstract concept.

His work engages in a dialogue between individual and collective memory, showing how local narratives can resonate universally. Through form, material, and movement, his projects reveal subtle shifts in perception, transforming the ordinary and everyday into something profound and meaningful.
