25 June– 7 August  

The exhibition at the Model  included a series of wooden installations, entitled Anatomy.  Anatomy features models of human organs made from earth, roots and wood.  These pieces bring to mind man’s own immortality and raise questions about the nature of the human body.  Anatomy also features wooden replicas of an operating theatre and a dentist’s chair, and although these pieces initially appear light-hearted, closer inspection reveals a nightmarish quality. 

Dimitri was born and raised in Moscow , and first studied art at the Polygraphic Institute there in the 1980s.  He moved to Paris in 1991, where he continues to live and work.  Last year he participated in the Artist’s Work Programme at the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
