Vienna-based visual artist Aleksandra Nazarova (*1990, Ukraine) specialises in multi-media installations and moving pictures. Her research-based works focus on the integration of human labour in technical infrastructures and explore the material, historical, and socio-political aspects of the techno-social milieu we live in. She has been exploring the conflicts between tech capitalism and resilience gestures, solitary people and interconnected digital networks, as well as processes of image-making and invisibilization, through films, installations, and fabrics. Her works aim to create a viewpoint that challenges hegemonic narratives and enters imaginary spaces, drawing inspiration from glitches, techno-feminist theory, and the liberating possibilities of collective practice.

Aleksandra Nazarova is a member of The Golden Pixel Cooperative, a Vienna-based organisation for moving pictures, arts, and media. She attended the University of Applied Arts Vienna (AT) and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam (NL). She was a resident artist at the Jan van Eyck Academie (Netherlands, 2024) and the Est-Nord-Est résidence d’artistes (Canada, 2023). She is currently a part of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service & Sport’s Pixel, Bytes + Film initiative.

The Outstanding Artist Award for Media Arts (2024), Pixel, Bytes + Film scholarship (2025), Price of the City Duisburg for the Best Short and Middle Length Documentary Film (2023), Working Grant of the City of Vienna (2022), START scholarship of the Federal Ministry for Culture (2019), and Award of the Kunsthalle Wien (2017) are just a few of the grants and prizes that have been given to her practice.
