Dёni Mustafa (also known as Denis Mustafin) is an artist based in Avallon, France. His practice includes spatial projects, video, performance, scores, zines, text, and self-organized formats.

In recent years his work has developed around a limited set of recurring elements: points, tension, text, route, sound, sheet, and exhibition space. These elements move from one form to another — from a forest diagram to an exhibition space, from a word on a wall to a publication, from a score to a collective action.

His current practice includes projects such as 22, U:TOPOS, and the independent zine ʒиN. A separate archive section is devoted to works made in Russia between 2009 and 2022: street actions, exhibitions, films, curatorial and self-organized projects.
