Maxim Imanou Fadeev is a multidisciplinary artist and coach for creative proffesionals.
Maxim explores topics around the post-national, and the evolution and transcendence of oneself, social, and global systems. His work engages with themes of identity, cultural memory, empathy, and the complex relationship between art and state. Through his practice, he seeks to provoke reflection and create conditions for a more harmonious, empathetic, and cooperative world.
He works across media, with a practice that spans performance, sound, installation, research-based art, speculative design, video, and hybrid forms.
He holds a Master’s degree in Digital Art (with excellence) from Far Eastern Federal University.
His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Jerusalem Biennale, the National Centre for Contemporary Arts (NCCA), Electromuseum (Moscow), GoEast Festival (Wiesbaden, Germany), and the Primorye State Art Gallery (Vladivostok).

Sunday is time for postnational art. Today is an example of how real life can sometimes be wilder than any performance.
Karl Bushby is a former paratrooper who, in 1998, set out from South America with the goal of becoming the first person to walk all the way around the world on a continuous route, without using transport.
By now he has spent 27 years on this journey — ironically, only 13 of those years were actually spent walking, while the rest were eaten up by bureaucratic obstacles, pandemics, visa restrictions, and financial difficulties.
Over this time he has covered about 47,000 km, crossed 4 continents and 25 countries, deserts, mountains, and the Bering Strait over ice. Now he is back in Europe, on the final stretch of his path to the UK, and plans to reach his hometown of Hull around 2026 — if bureaucracy allows.
He says: “I’m an average guy… All I’m doing is putting one foot in front of the other,” and constantly emphasizes that he survived and made it this far thanks to strangers who helped him along the way.

Sunday is post-national art time. Today: Morakana — a recent Lumen Prize winner with their work "Cumulus". The largest volume of migration is directed toward the US, and the most crossed border in the world is the border between Mexico and the United States. At the same time, it’s one of the largest borders on the planet, stretching about 3,000 km.
The work is an autonomous object that uses satellite images of the border and, through computer vision, analyzes the moment when clouds pass over it. These images are shown on an e-ink display, and the border-crossing point is marked with an LED strip. The object is powered by solar panels. The piece offers a global perspective free from political demarcations, embodying the Overview Effect — a cognitive shift in awareness experienced by astronauts when viewing Earth from outer space.

The first photograph of Earth from space, taken on October 24, 1946. The image was obtained during the launch of a V-2 rocket — a modification of the German Vergeltungswaffe No. 2 (“Vengeance Weapon” No. 2), the world’s first long-range guided missile.
The rocket was assembled and launched by General Electric from captured German components, supplemented with its own modifications.
It was filmed with a standard 35 mm DeVry movie camera that had been modified. The camera drive was repurposed from a B-29 machine-gun motor.
