I explore extractivism, posthumanism, material memory, and time, often in relation to technology. My practice is research-led and spans image, sculptural installation and text. Previously trained as an architect and influenced by new materialist philosophy, I aim to move beyond human-centred narratives and to work in response to the inherited view of the Earth as passive matter. My main interest lies in natural resources and the stories they can tell. The materials I work with—charcoal, coal, metal, ice, and water—carry the memory of ecological and socio-political transformation. They hold histories that extend far beyond human timescales. I am interested in how these materials act as records of geological processes and human impact, while simultaneously giving form to the technologies that drive ongoing planetary change.

Motivated by research into polar ice drilling, it reflects on how fresh glacier water and natural cold are becoming some of the most precious resources of the near future and a ground zero for climate change. Inspired by my visit to the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, the piece draws on real scientific and environmental processes. It explores themes of memory, fluidity, and fragility, highlighting the slow yet irreversible release of frozen archives of Earth’s climate data and the loss of fragments of glacier time: trapped air, fresh water, and microorganisms dating back up to 800,000 years. The melting of ancient ice is a process that contributes to rising ocean levels, alters marine ecosystems by increasing water salinity in some areas and diluting it in others, and releases trapped greenhouse gases and ancient carbon dioxide. These processes accelerate global warming and disrupt the delicate balance of Earth’s climate. <img width="2284" height="3045" width_o="2284" height_o="3045" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef1a4a57c55e6ff40f03922f6994bb332818c180b7c3c216a8e1083a1c06e18a/Ice-core-storage-at-the-BAS.jpg" data-mid="238127258" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef1a4a57c55e6ff40f03922f6994bb332818c180b7c3c216a8e1083a1c06e18a/Ice-core-storage-at-the-BAS.jpg" /> Ice core storage Photo taken by me on 12 May 2025 at the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge <img width="2000" height="2667" width_o="2000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e67b041f519bc885ed2b5d6823ba65970d2c22666525bc18fa45d62131e04ddd/Notebook.jpg" data-mid="238127256" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e67b041f519bc885ed2b5d6823ba65970d2c22666525bc18fa45d62131e04ddd/Notebook.jpg" /> Notebook spreads 1 - Experiment log: ice layering schedule and pigment solution ratios, 2 - Steel box sketches <img width="2910" height="3879" width_o="2910" height_o="3879" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36635be2b6302d359b284c1314d9d06178b68859a5bc4e0f3828fecd0f01f7db/Ice-sample-in-the-freezer.jpg" data-mid="238127261" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36635be2b6302d359b284c1314d9d06178b68859a5bc4e0f3828fecd0f01f7db/Ice-sample-in-the-freezer.jpg" /> The first fully formed ice piece in the freezer <img width="856" height="1280" width_o="856" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6e30f4022b89a38ba7cd3ff15e3f9300d2f45f5ca213eff9dd5ccf62b0aaf5a5/photo_2025-06-12-20.20.37.jpeg" data-mid="238127253" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/856/i/6e30f4022b89a38ba7cd3ff15e3f9300d2f45f5ca213eff9dd5ccf62b0aaf5a5/photo_2025-06-12-20.20.37.jpeg" /> Me sanding the box Photo by Daniel Bernal https://abelinskaya.com/Pylon Tue, 04 Nov 2025 17:11:07 +0000 Anastasia Belinskaya https://abelinskaya.com/Pylon <img width="4025" height="4025" width_o="4025" height_o="4025" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/672928344dcc63421c4918bf8c8d6d0481a59300c17fdee813da9db820e99c0d/Belinskaya_Anastasia_Pylon_1.jpg" data-mid="240885530" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/672928344dcc63421c4918bf8c8d6d0481a59300c17fdee813da9db820e99c0d/Belinskaya_Anastasia_Pylon_1.jpg" /> <img width="3316" height="3320" width_o="3316" height_o="3320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/549ae84f73a6e9d0329383f5377d7eae2ba8c4669cd79e023b77296a3c53c5dd/Belinskaya_Anastasia_Pylon_s.jpg" data-mid="240247958" border="0" data-scale="69" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/549ae84f73a6e9d0329383f5377d7eae2ba8c4669cd79e023b77296a3c53c5dd/Belinskaya_Anastasia_Pylon_s.jpg" /> Pylon 2025 25x25cmGiclée print on archival paper Edition of 30 Our systems are intended to work seamlessly. We think of them as ordinary and boring, if notice them at all, until they fail and instantly disrupt our daily lives.When infrastructure fatigues, bends and breaks, it opens a space of raw uncertainty. In that failure, I see not only clash between human intention and natural force, but also a will to resist, a refusal of its physical body to remain within the system and conform to someone else’s ambition.Ref.: R.

In the 1st century in the Roman Empire, these bones began to take on a cubic shape. However, in many parts of the world, people still use animal bones to play this game. Since the bones of vertebrates do not decompose but instead become embedded in the Earth’s crust, remains of ancient creatures are often uncovered during mining, making some of the most fascinating discoveries a by-product of resource extraction. Archaeologists, paleontologists, and miners all share an interest in digging, though for different reasons. The work explores what we treasure, along with themes of time, chance, and the game of life we all play—one with a definite outcome. <img width="2837" height="4032" width_o="2837" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8b85a98769ff36c0a4f9b0eb6fdfe3d3b277b89a28cb3ec7d4274bf28178e151/01.jpg" data-mid="221290617" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8b85a98769ff36c0a4f9b0eb6fdfe3d3b277b89a28cb3ec7d4274bf28178e151/01.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/652851eebb92baeacc572c6054f50b3f4acc2374956e5042521188ecb8428892/05.jpg" data-mid="221291024" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/652851eebb92baeacc572c6054f50b3f4acc2374956e5042521188ecb8428892/05.jpg" /> https://abelinskaya.com/Descend Thu, 20 Jun 2024 11:25:38 +0000 Anastasia Belinskaya https://abelinskaya.com/Descend <img width="3360" height="2095" width_o="3360" height_o="2095" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b007090a8c146df4b68060b2d3c8ede08016c79995a47f63c071dd56e42f4138/Pixels_Descend_Belinskaya_1.jpg" data-mid="213276225" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b007090a8c146df4b68060b2d3c8ede08016c79995a47f63c071dd56e42f4138/Pixels_Descend_Belinskaya_1.jpg" /> <img width="3360" height="2095" width_o="3360" height_o="2095" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5bf35fd975e4455d4adb4270c23db30cfb6a9911d2edae4b65b304ca06ccf796/Pixels_Descend_Belinskaya_2.jpg" data-mid="213276258" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5bf35fd975e4455d4adb4270c23db30cfb6a9911d2edae4b65b304ca06ccf796/Pixels_Descend_Belinskaya_2.jpg" /> <img width="3360" height="2095" width_o="3360" height_o="2095" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3c772261b2227baacf6a0f4b872bd6c335b9644da49a276fe43e55ebd33cccc/Pixels_Descend_Belinskaya_3.jpg" data-mid="213276280" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3c772261b2227baacf6a0f4b872bd6c335b9644da49a276fe43e55ebd33cccc/Pixels_Descend_Belinskaya_3.jpg" /> Descend 2024 Digital work Technologies manipulate our emotions and separate us from our consciousness and the material world.
