Anastasia Sosunova. Crossover
Curated by Chiara Nuzzi

Crossover is the title of Anastasia Sosunova solo exhibition, bringing together new sculptures and works created between 2022 and 2025. Starting from overcoded stories and seemingly insignificant personal episodes, the artist reworks them, celebrating the shifts in meaning enacted by the artworks in relation to social agreements, folkloric beliefs, or parasocial relationships. Sosunova overlaps and distorts images, objects, and materials laden with significance, drawing the viewer’s attention to the ways in which notions of tradition and ritual are regularly manipulated to reinforce authority and codified narratives.

ANASTASIA SOSUNOVA

Anastasia Sosunova (Ignalina, 1993) is a visual artist based in Vilnius. Her practice, combining video, installation, printmaking, and sculpture, focuses on the multiple connections between signs and fate in a secular society, exploring manifestations of magical thinking and the dynamics of community mobilization. Her works address themes related to the coexistence of seemingly incompatible value systems, tracing alternative forms of contemporary folklore. Sosunova graduated from the Vilnius Academy of Arts with a BA in Graphic Arts and an MA in Sculpture. Her work has been featured in numerous biennials and group exhibitions, including the 15th Gwangju Biennale, the 17th Lyon Biennale, KADIST, and the Palais de Tokyo. Her solo and duo exhibitions have been presented in international institutions such as Kim? Contemporary Art Centre (Riga), KOHTA Kunsthalle (Helsinki), Contemporary Art Centre (Vilnius), Galeria Arsenał (Białystok), and Cell Project Space (London).
