Anastasia Bogomolova — CV


Anastasia Bogomolova is an artist, researcher, and weaver of stories, whose practice focuses on exploring hidden traces and narratives, peripheral routes and areas of tangled memories, the nature of oblivion and difficult heritage. Starting from performative approach and turning to the study of mimicry as a theme, method and visual language, Bogomolova migrates between mediums and materials. In their installations, the artist combines video, sound, photographs, objects, handmade paper, and text.

They live and work in Yekaterinburg, Ural, Russia.
