Anastasia Belinskaya is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in London.
Statement
Anastasia’s artistic practice is material-oriented.
Every object and device has a body made of material that was once extracted from the surface of our planet. She explores this materiality, focusing on themes of excavation and mining, geology and archaeology, underworlds, time, the cyclicality of life and death, alchemy, and the continuity of matter.
Her field of research includes the anti-individualist approach of new materialism philosophy, existentialism, and Freud's concept of the uncanny.
Anastasia gives agency to materials and co-creates with them, challenging extractivist and consumerist perspectives on the world. In many of her works, she chooses coal as the main character—an essence of life on our planet and the most carbon-rich substance that bridges temporalities.
