Presented as part of the Foto Wien Festival Kulakova's work articulates an existential pursuit of harmony—a visual dialogue between self and environment. Following years of global exploration, she has cultivated a studio practice centered on still life photography, reimagining the classical genre through unexpected compositions. The exhibition presented at Hotel Altstadt Vienna featured ten meticulously crafted diptychs juxtaposing early architectural studies with contemporary still life explorations—her architectural photographs isolating formal elements toward abstraction, while her still life compositions emerge as constructed realities fulfilling a simultaneous desire for sensuality and structural integrity.

These paired images illuminate the thematic consistency throughout her practice: the tension between organic and mineral, nature and artifice, and the perpetual search for equilibrium amid life's inherent disorder. As the exhibition's title suggests, these pairings interrogate the mathematics of combined entities, asking what emerges from these visual conversations. "We develop as distinct mature individuals," the artist reflects, "not merging with another, but rather progressing alongside." Ultimately, these diptychs serve as manifestations of interior truth—poetic counters to our era of global uncertainty.
