Mariya Vasilyeva (b. 1993, Kyiv) is a video and performance artist who relocated to Germany as a child. Her work examines identity, migration, gender, power relations and the effects of digitalised culture on the body. Using self-image, repetition, deformation and performance, she transforms the body into an increasingly artificial and fragmented visual entity, moving from the human toward the abstract, non-organic and uncanny.
