Mascha Naumova
RUSSIA
Mascha Naumova (b. 1984, Moscow) is a visual artist, performer and video maker based in Berlin. She graduated from Moscow State Stroganov Academy for Applied Arts. Naumova’s work concerns themes of emotional experience, gender roles, femininity, sex, mortality and humanity’s fight against it; her practice reflects an ongoing exploration of experiencing the female identity, through the creation of rituals that mirror larger social processes. The artist plunges her body in water tinted by toxic acrylic pigment. This immersion in colored water, as a submergence in oneself and in the depths of nature, indicates the artist’s stages of transition to a new life through the destruction of previous memories.
