2020
Mixed media sculpture
100 x 90 cm



Found objects, resin, plastic, ceramic bowl.


The work stages a dissonance between function and perception. Familiar domestic objects are displaced, destabilized, and submerged, shifting from clarity into distortion and ambiguity. Removed from their original context, they lose fixed meaning and become contingent on the viewer’s perception.

The work reflects on constructed realities and the loss of aura in the age of reproduction, echoing the ideas of Walter Benjamin, where objects, once functional and singular, are reconfigured into mutable, mediated forms.

2020
Sculpture
81 x 41 cm

Found plastic objects.


A familiar object is subtly disrupted: a chair, stripped to its minimal form, is interrupted by a sculptural insertion made of found materials—yogurt bottles and plastic sticks—breaking its logic of comfort and use. Function becomes obstructed, shifting the object from utility to ambiguity.

Simulation. Version 02 continues the reflection on constructed realities and the loss of aura, echoing Walter Benjamin, where everyday objects, once stable and singular, are altered into mediated forms, dependent on perception rather than purpose.

The Spirit and Matter
2021
3D Video
Created in collaboration with architect Liam Denhamer


The Spirit and Matter is a project that examines the banality of the everyday object, their materiality, composition, and mnemonic properties. This project's ambition is to subvert the found and disregarded into new digital and physical constructs, creating disconcerting projections from the consumer in these new realms. Not only are these objects formally distorted into familiar yet ghoulish compositions, they’re context has also been rapidly changed to the digital and uncanny. Distorting memories of the previous use and re-injecting these objects with a lexicon of nature in which their innocence originated from.









Physical Liberation
2019
Mixed media sculpture & video
90 x 90 cm


Plastic, metal, glue, resin, clay, and pastel. The videos were created using a photogrammetry process.



The purpose or meaning of the objects in the material or physical world has become insignificant. The transferring that occurred dissolved the objects in the real world and, through rendering, reconstructed them in an immaterial or ‘ideal world’ where space and time became one.

As Long As I Can Hold My Breath
2019


Video & Sound Installation



The work confronts nostalgia as a mental phenomenon and examines the nature of its stimuli through observation and psychological research. Analogue imperfections, paired with the quiet directness of the digital, create a subtle, surreal atmosphere. Carefully combined formats shape a narrative while avoiding overt symbolism, opening questions about the nature of nostalgia, its relation to memory, and whether its primary triggers are universal.









COMLOSS
2018


Mixed media sculpture
200 x 30 cm


Analogue photo prints, plastic elements.


The work explores the analogue photography process, the transition of an image from two to three dimensions, and its visual perception. It stems from an interest in the inefficiencies of human communication, acknowledging that complete understanding is never fully achievable, and questions communication in the modern world. COMLOSS is composed of layered analogue photographs of communication wires, where intersections and connections shift depending on the viewer’s point of view.

ABOUT

dasha@dash-space.co


As a multidisciplinary artist based between the USA and Mexico, Dasha has a rich history with photography. Her passion for the art form began in her youth, when she watched her father, a Soviet scientist, develop family photos in his DIY darkroom.

Dasha’s artistic journey has taken her from Moscow, where she studied art and design and worked as a fashion editor, to New York City, where she worked as an art director in film and advertising production. Eventually, she landed in London, where she earned a degree in fine art photography from the University of the Arts.

Dasha’s work deals with the subject of the environment. One of the main focuses of the work is the relationship between nature and man; where she places emphasis on the fact that man is an integral part of his natural surroundings.
