VITALIIA FEDOROVA (b.Kyiv, Ukraine, 1996)
Her artistic practice focuses on introspection and stretches on the poetic-social axis. Her main interest is to explore the possibilities of art as a political force that not only reflects social processes, but can significantly influence and shape them. Based on the thesis that the personal is always political, she uses the mediums of installation and video in order to transform the personal experience into common, and common into personal. The result of her creative process is reminiscent of storytelling, because it is at this point that she sees an opportunity for open dialogue with the audience.
