Anastasia Savinova

Anastasia Savinova's multidisciplinary practice revolves around places, ecologies and human relationship with the 'more-than-human world'. She investigates how everything is intertwined and how we are always emerging as a part of something greater.  

The installation in and outside Bildmuseet is part of her ongoing project We Swim in One Water, that focuses on connectedness through water on geographical, biological, and spiritual levels. 

The indoor installation consists of sculptures and video works, reflecting on a water journey through time on personal and planetary levels: from ancestral waters, through our bodies, and into the future. The installation also includes sculptures made from materials found on shorelines, charged with stories of swimming. 

The outdoor piece is a text, floating on the river. The wavy shapes suggest images of driftwood, shaped and smoothed
by waves.
