About the artist
Sasha Puchkova is a multidisciplinary artist working across graphic arts, ceramics, digital collage, VR, objects, and installations. Combining digital and traditional media, she examines images of the present and the past through a historical lens, filtered through the prism of media. Key themes in her practice include the future of the feminine, the construction of fiction and autofiction based on documentary events, and the rupture of time (post-Soviet past and immediate present).
