EMA Space
Transformation of an abandoned factory into a cultural cluster

EMA is a project of revitalization of an ex-industrial territory in the center of Moscow. In the last decade, the industry (factory of Electrical Medical Apparates) was relocated and the territory became abandoned. New interventions - immense shining of foil reflections, theatrical scaleless geometries, video projections and unique light ambiances - this #fulloffoil environment - transforms EMA space into a new cultural hub in Moscow.
Project is made in collaboration with A. Staborovskiy (SAGA)
