The artist turns her camera towards the publicly visible images that shape the façades of these cities. Rather than highlighting what makes these places unique, she reveals what they have in common: the menacing and gradual homogenization of consumer culture, emerging from a world increasingly dominated by corporations. | | | | | | Anastasia Samoylova Advertisement on Opera House, Paris, 2021 Archival Pigment Print, mounted, framed 100 x 125 cm Edition of 5 + 2 AP | | | | Anastasia Samoylova (1984) is an American artist who moves between observational photography, studio practice and installation.
