INFO
Aleksandra Nazarova is an artist and designer working with material experimentation, space, sound, and scrutinizing man-made and planetary systems. She studied Industrial Design at ECAL, University of Art and Design in Lausanne, and later Geo-Design at Design Academy Eindhoven, moving from the language of precision and production into questions of time, territory, climate, and infrastructure.
A leap second, a melting border, a quarry that never rests, flour that carbonizes; investigative research turns into situations where the audience must stand, sit, turn, listen, smell, wait, and coexist with contemporary dilemmas and interrogations. The practice brings together spatial installation, material research, and critical inquiry to link the personal and the planetary. Materiality carries histories and necessary narratives: technology tied to geology and extraction, food to warfare, industriality to control, time perception to endangered landscapes. Her work prompts reconsideration of how form, context, design, time, memory, utility, and speculation overlap. Rooted in research but committed to hands-on making, she uses site-responsive interventions and timing, repetition, moving image, sonification, and movement to study the ecological, technological and social forces that shape understanding.
