In ‘Souvenir’, Masha Psilocybe explores the relationship between memory, nostalgia and modernity, focusing on how history and urban myths can be commercialized, distorted and reshaped in real time. In her works, the artist reflects on the fusion of contemporary urban spaces with historical symbols, creating a distinctive visual language that takes up and reinterprets images from the world of comics and pop culture. Psilocybe contrasts the nostalgic charm of French kitsch with the harsh reality of urban life. Nostalgia serves as a central theme and transforms the story into a private and collective mythology. Through this contrast, the project raises the question of how people move in evolving urban spaces and deal with social segregation.
