“Anastasia Samoylova’s inventive use of colors and her skillful compositions convey ambiguity – the beauty yet also vulgarity of life in Florida. Each of her photographs tells a layered story: her attentive, eye effortlessly crops complex narratives in single frames and leaves the observer with both, the urge to connect the subject matter with their own personal experience and the longing to dive deep into collective knowledge and the history of this place – however short it may be. ” Ulrike Heine, curator
A book of the work has just been published by Steidl.
Anastasia Samoylova is shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Foundation Photography Prize 2022.
