This portfolio shows Anna's art. As far as I discover my abilities to create any kind of art I discover something new about myself and life around. I hope this case will help you to discover something new too.
VIDEOMAPPING
My way to videomapping started with the Gatchina Light festival in 2022. It was a strange time, full of uncertainty and desire to clarify what's going on and what's going to happen. Maybe that's the way you learn how to really be in the current times. Here you can see the outcome of thoughts and collaboration with festival team and composer Svetlana- I was the creator of visual part, story and concept, the topic of the festival was "Dialogue", which I misremembered as "Connection". But probably that's an important part of every dialogue?
Hi
"Gatchina Light festival", 2022.
Project created for Gatchina night lights- the building I choose to work with is called facade of Venus on the Island of love
And here is my second videomapping for Gatchina Light festival on Jordan facade. The idea was to show what happens when two people talk to each other. " Talking between us" is a literal translation, but the meaning is more like "just between you and me". My goal was to create a story and visual art. With Svetlana, composer, we worked on sound. I'm thankful for the festival team for this unique opportunity.
Blue Bird
Hand drawn animated videomapping created for Moscow Art Theatre festival, dedicated to play "Blue bird" which was first shown on stage more that hundred years ago
BLUE BIRD
Project created for the Tschaikovskiy Concert Hall, together with theatre director Nikolai we worked with archives of Moscow Art Theatre and the play "Blue Bird" , written by Maurice Maeterlinck and played in the Art Theatre more than hundred years ago. The concert was connected with the birthday of the Art theatre- 125 years, music played was from the plays shown on the scene for all those years, here you can hear Ilya's Sats composition for the Blue Bird play.
Since you're getting to know me better- my problem is that I can't really record work. I don't know why- I always forget to do it, and when there is no one to help- the moment is gone. So here are 2 versions- higher is "After the concert", another- "Live concert", made from short clips.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
CONCERT HALL
This videmapping was created for Tchaikovsky concert hall in 2026, for accompanying masterpieces Coriolan by Ludwig van Beethoven and Romeo and Juliette by Sergei Prokofiev
Videoart created during "Real time animation lab" in Georgia, 2025
During a 14-day residency organised by invisiblefriends studio each participant's goal was to create a video installation using stop motion techniques and VJ- programs. That was my first experience with VJ- art and it turned out as a wonderful experience. I worked with a short story that inspired me for this project- ability to find common language and becoming a speaking subject. With help of sound designer Alexander we created a unique sound that accompanies video.

Saint-Petersburg watercolours, 2023-2024
That's a very interesting thing- I think only in SPB I started drawing like you can see here, the process was so meditative- I couldn't stop. And that's actually something new. I also think that in these works there was so much texturing which never really happened before. Probably the place we're in at the moment starts to reconstruct us too.

Series of illustration created in different places, inspired by different countries, people and places.
ILLUSTRATION
And that's a short story about a cat and love.
I like sketching. I like sketching people, dogs and cats.
I would like to sketch more but I'm not doing it because I'm always doing something else. For example, working, or writing, or going somewhere.
This guy I sketched in London- he is real.
The dog is my imaginary dog.

It's more about sketching and writing diaries. One book says
" Dare to write your own diary".
Maybe sketching is a sort of dairy too.
Once all my sketches created a short clip that incorporates a year of my life or so. I think that a scratch on a piece of paper can say a lot. You see it- that's a scratch from your past that becomes real.

Sketches.
I think sometimes finding a rhythm is the most important part that helps to find common language. You don't really have to know it when you can feel it.
Here are some short stories from Turkey. I like capturing sense and heartbeat of the streets.
PROJECTS
In this part you can see couple of projects directed and created for commercial and educational purposes.
Here is the project created for New Zealand property council awards, together with Rob who is the founder of Perpetua agency in New Zealand. New Zealand! It's amazing how you can work from the North Pole to the South Pole. My goal was to create the visual part, and to animate everything. The idea of the show was to create it more cozy and to give it a hint of hand drawn art. Animation used here is created in frame by frame technique.
And that's another fun stuff- educational project for Pushkin's Museum in Moscow- we made it with the team of Museyon- center for aesthetic studies where people from from 7 to 22 can discover nature of art and artistic language. Team worked on the script and idea, my part was creating visual and animated parts. I took the pictures of museum exhibitions and incorporated them as collage which gave a feel that you're actually walking around- now you can see our cartoon inside The Pushkin's Museum, next to the marble stairs.
More artistic projects are coming here, but the process of editing takes time. Some people say that editing is the hardest part and you can spend the most working hours on it.
Just some records of how it happened. I hope David enjoyed it as much as kids.

PHOTOGRAPHY
I have a friend, who transforms optics. All these pictures were made with the lens that was recreated.
I think it's important to notice.
Sort of documentary.
