Eugenia Ivanissevich

Practice-based research stems from the historical and ongoing intersections of sculpture and photography. Eugenia uses the camera to give permanence to temporary compositions. She's drawn to objects, surfaces and trailing bits and bobs within the domestic environment. She's interested in the everyday, in colour and materials. Collecting, drawing, balancing, experimentation with fitting things together and responding to situations or provocations are methods of making she employs within a loose and fragmented practice. These fragments often find their place in zines or publications.

Games, narrative and play increasingly surface in her work. Collaborating with others or providing a space for others to engage with their creativity are characteristics of more recent directions taken in her practice since her involvement with Higher Education where the teaching and running of workshops inform this aspect of her practice. Examples include:

- The pandemic initiative Festival de Animación, where family and friends are taught a specific skill, then invited to be creators of work that was screened on a weekly basis on social media.

- TALKING TREES, a publication made with students at AUB BA (Hons) Fine Art and students at SPARC, Children Center, NGO Pakistan.

- MIGRARE, a body of work developed for Landskrona Foto Festival, Sweden; featuring responsive pieces by Argentinian writer Rosalia Iturbe and artist Ivana Salfity.

- Her work was included in collaborative projects such as Material/Immaterial, an experimental risograph publication curated by Rodrigo Orrantia, presented in Les Rencontres d'Arles and Offprint Paris (France, 2018).
