Arseniy Neskhodimov is a Samarkand-born artist based in Moscow. In his practice, he explores the disillusionment and alienation of the generation born in early 80s—the so-called Xennials, who are described as having had an analogue childhood and a digital adulthood. Having studied photography and cinema, Neskhodimov has worked as a portrait photographer since 2008. His personal art projects have won numerous contests such as Welcome Photography Prize, Aesthetica Art Prize, Silver Camera, IPA, and Annual Photography Awards among others.
