My Personal Utopia - This short film is both an introduction to my art and a reflection of my life. It brings together all the disciplines I work with, creating a space I can truly call my own. My artworks, and this film, speak in a playfully maximalist, yet sensitive and lyrical language. It reflects the stages of my life that have led me to this moment, where the sum of past experiences becomes fertile ground for new ideas.
My name is Jegor Pister and I am a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist working across painting, performance, and video.
I received my Master of Arts from Central Saint Martins in 2020.
My work draws from a personal mythology rooted in Slavic folklore, examining the tension between decadence and decay.
I approach each piece through play, intuitively responding to contemporary events while transforming them into visions of utopia. I’m deeply influenced by Pina Bausch, particularly her method of translating behavioural study into spiritual form language.
My latest work, My Personal Utopia, a short film, brings together fashion, digital art, sculpture, painting, and performance.
It reflects on the excess of our times through painterly, romanticised bodies posed within organic structures, symbols of a cyclical, prehistoric rhythm that holds emotional and mythic resonance.
In 2020, I was awarded a scholarship by Alexander McQueen and showcased my Master’s collection at London Fashion Week.
