Step into the world's most interconnected cities, captured by Samoylova's photography. See the hidden transformations behind false facades and how consumerism has numbed their once unique identities. Through masterfully reframed clichés, Samoylova invites us to ponder photography's role in creating a disconnect between these cities' brand image and their true essence.
ANASTASIA SAMOYLOVA (*1984) grew up in Moscow. In 2008 she moved to the United States, where she graduated with a master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Art from Bradley University, Illinois. Her work explores the tension between the staged perception of a bombastic materialism and reality. Living and working in Miami, Florida has become the backdrop for her combination of collage-like details with the genre of the road trip. Her recent series Flood Zones and Floridas have received great critical acclaim.
