Anastasia Segrenyova is an interdisciplinary artist who investigates the invisible imprints left by humanity across urban landscapes, the human form and the material world. Originally trained in classical photography and painting, her practice has evolved into a synthesis of diverse mediums, including sculptural installation, poetry, video and sound. By utilizing industrial and organic substrates — such as bitumen, gypsum and water — she explores physicality and vulnerability as both material and philosophical states. She transforms the photographic document into a three-dimensional somatic experience excavating the layers of memory and fragility that reside beneath the surface of the mundane.
Central to her research is the body and memory as an archive of lived experience and the environment as a “spectral” entity in constant flux. Anastasia explores the human form as a topography of physicality where traces and gestures serve as vital links to a disappearing past. Her work navigates the dialectic between the internal self and the external world addressing the intersection of memory, self-identity and the cyclical nature of existence. Rather than providing definitive answers her projects function as a series of questions — inviting the viewer to reflect on multi-layered themes of displacement, preservation and the elusive nature of our own feelings and sensation.
