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 works with such media as painting, graphics, sculpture and installation. In her practice, Sasha focuses on various forms of individual and collective memory. Her works aim to restore an emotional connection with the world, which, according to the artist, was destroyed by the irony and cynicism of the postmodern era. Sasha's art explores the boundary between memory and real time. This perspective reveals the implicit conflicts between the two, showing the ghostly presence of the past in the present.
Sasha is a resident of the Nepokorennykh 17 Studio in St. Petersburg, Russia, and the HongYuan International Arts Village in Chengdu, China. She participates in group exhibitions and international art fairs. These include Cosmoscow, Blazar, SAM FAIR and PAF. Sasha’s works have also been exhibited at the Museum of Nonconformist Art and the Sergey Kuryokhin Centre for Modern Art.
