The Yay Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of the personal exhibition “UMWELT” by the artist Aida Mahmudova. Umwelt - the concept, formulated in 1909 by the biologist and philosopher Jakob von Uexküll, in an attempt to explain the fact that different animals in the same ecosystem react to different external signals. Creatures that have acute hearing and vision, perceive the world differently than beings endowed with an excellent sense of smell, or interacting with the external environment by means of ultrasonic waves and electric fields.
