Nastassja Nefjodov is a German/Russian artist living in Amsterdam
Her work is based on family stories around (war)trauma. Stories which show how the political impacts the personal, how experiences and memories are passed down and sometimes repeated in the next generation.
She is using archive material and combining it with her own photography. Her photography is poetic, metaphorical, performative, nostalgic. It plays with the notions of memory and its non-linear nature, highlighting that even though some things stay unknown in the subconsciousness, they do have an impact on our emotional state of being.
