Nastia Yanson
I am a multimedia artist working with sculptures, installations, photography and video. My practice engages with instability and artificiality, focusing on moments when reality appears almost normal but begins to feel unreliable.

I create interconnected objects and spatial situations that involve movement, touch and duration. Participation is central to my work, as simple gestures activate perception as a corporeal process and make physical involvement inseparable from the experience.

Tactility and corporeal perception form a recurring focus in my practice. I explore how everyday objects can acquire bodily qualities and provoke physical responses to artificial forms, perceived as if they were alive.

Photography and video function as integral components of my work, extending objects and installations beyond physical space and shaping a shared field where physical and digital presence intersect. Humor operates as an accessible entry point in my work, opening space for engagement, discomfort and reflection.

My artistic practice began in illustration, which continues to inform my attention to narrative, sequencing and visual structure.
