etchingroom1 (Anna Khodkova & Kristina Yarosh) is a Berlin-based artist duo founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2016. Their interdisciplinary practice spans printmaking, ceramics, mosaics, textiles, installation, and artist books. Drawing on the visual language of graphics while continuously expanding its boundaries, they investigate the relationship between personal memory, urban environments, and collective experience. Through layered narratives and material experimentation, etchingroom1 creates immersive works that reveal the fragile emotional structures shaping everyday life and contemporary social realities. Artists work in etching technique and create mosaics and installations.
