ARTIST STATEMENT
Anastasia Malkhazova is a Painter and Filmmaker, who discovers in her works such topics as the human mind and the collaboration between the senses. In a half-conscious and half unconscious art practice, as Malkhazova describes the painting process, she aims to discover new and original visual realities and creates a deep understanding between abstraction and association of reality. Within the process of Filmmaking, Malkhazova is concentrated on full length documentaries, as well as experimental films and Science-Fiction Genre, which has become her latest film-project, Snapdragon.
Her investigation on human mind is also reflected in her drawing-practice, that displays a surrealistic, yet psychological content. The engagement in Video-Art and Performance has led to more conceptual work-attitude and merges her experience in Theatre and Film, working with actors and script- writing with contemporary artistic practice. In her performances Malkhazova questions artistic practice by reflecting the contemporary art world and its inevitable borders, that often determine a perception of art.
