Evita Vasiljeva
Born in 1985
Hometown: Paris, France
Evita Vasiljeva is a Latvian artist, whose multimedia artistic practice includes sculpture, installation, and sound and is driven by a deep interest in the different materials of our daily surroundings. She creates objects and devices by appropriating construction materials, as well as other found relics of the urban landscape which are given a symbolic value in their new staging. Whilst repurposing materials, Vasiljeva aims to create new aesthetics and relational dynamics with spaces, audiences, and art histories. By using tools of deconstruction to create something new, her work contains an integral reflection of the cultural and architectural history of a specific place and city. Vasiljeva is a current resident artist at Fiminco Foundation 2020-2021 in Romainville.
