Daria Marshenko is a Melbourne-based artist whose practice focusses on examining structures of control and perception that quietly influence contemporary experiences. Marshenko’s work explores and exposes invisible social mechanisms, shifting the viewer's consumption from passive observation to a conscious encounter with reality. This is often conducted through the lens of satire, revealing everyday systemic absurdities.

The pseudonym YANEMOGU originates from a Russian figure of speech, which translates to "I can't". It is an expression of being overwhelmed- the point at which an experience becomes so intense that language fails. Marshenko uses photography and mixed- media to capture what cannot always be verbally described.

This vision dictates Marshenko's commissions, where a commercial brief is treated less as an aesthetic exercise, more a construction of character.
