It is often the case that I include people into my composition at first, but while trying to purge and clean the space I remove the excessive details. People are removed - and still they remain there invisibly. Their anthropogenic footprint remains. It is like shooting with slow shutter speed, when only things that can remain before the shutter closes turn out to be photographed.
The artist creates a juxtaposition between the mediums, including visual art, graphic art, sculptures, and installations. In her research, Sasha focuses on different configurations of private and collective memories. Her works are all about restoration of the emotional connection with the world which the artist believes to have been ruined by the irony and cynicism of the Post-Modernist era. Her art covers the boundaries between memories and real time, with the concealed conflicts in the spotlight. This helps the artist to record some inner emotions in her works where the past doesn’t just pass but continues its existence in phantom images.
Sasha is a resident of the Nepokorennykh 17 Studio (St. Petersburg, Russia) and HongYuan International Arts Village (Chengdu, China). She eagerly takes part in collaborative exhibitions and fairs of contemporary art, including Cosmoscow, Blazar, SAM FAIR, PAF, and many more. Some of the most remarkable events the artist joined were the exhibitions in the Nonconformity Museum, the Sergey Kuryokhin Center of Contemporary Art, as well as international contemporary art fairs. Her works are in private collections in Belgium, Germany, China, Russia, Finland, and Cyprus.
