Media artist.
In her work, Anna Sokolova explores the interaction between architectural space and the moving image.
Another important aspect of her work is the transformation of text into a work of art; how objectivity (text form) and subjectivity (message) in the understanding of the text affect the way it is perceived.
The most famous work of Anna Sokolova is the series "Ornament": using the same video element - a white stripe on a black background (the artist herself refers to this visual element as a linement) - she creates dynamic structures that, penetrating into the exhibition space, transform it. Continuing to explore the possibilities of the created video element, Sokolova tests it as a new media, and, placing it on her own flag, formulates a manifesto of artistic sovereignty and formal aesthetic autonomy.
