Anastasia Mityukova

⁠Eyes on Talents member, Anastasia Mityukova, presented last year her first solo show in Switzerland, Avez-vous déjà vu un iceberg sous la pluie? (Have you ever seen an iceberg under the rain?), at the Centre de la photographie Genève (CPG). For several years now, Anastasia Mityukova has been studying, deconstructing and confronting the Western visual culture of the Arctic and the North Pole with reality. Bringing together a major part of her work in a wide variety of media and narratives, Anastasia Mityukova’s exhibition explores our imaginations of the Arctic and what shapes them. The artist seizes on these contradictions to bring nuance and complexity to these representations, underlining the extent to which our gaze is constructed and conditioned.
Anastasia Mityukova was born in 1992 in Uzbekistan. Based in Geneva, she graduated in photography from ECAL in 2018.
