Anastasia Egorova, multidisciplinary artist working across installation, ceramics and photography in Mallorca
Anastasia Egorova (Astrakhan, USSR, 1981) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Mallorca, working across installation, ceramics and photography. Her practice maps human consciousness through the lineage of matter, treating the body as an archive. It inhabits the threshold of the preverbal: where geological time meets the contemporary body, and text dissolves into the blind memory of matter. Her work is an unconditional invitation to inhabit silence, and to remember that we are matter, space and memory, suspended in a timeless realm.
Egorova approaches clay, the photographic image and installation space not as means to create objects, but as forms of somatic and conceptual archaeology. Born in the Volga Delta, a landscape defined by the elemental convergence of river and sea, her relationship with the earth is rooted in the ancestral. She treats clay as an ancient repository of collective memory, creating “haptic mantras”: physical, sculptural anchors that weave archetypal intelligence together with the dissociated modern self. Photography, in turn, captures what matter alone cannot say: gesture, gaze, and the presence of other bodies and other histories.
Her research unfolds through a series of interconnected projects. Sagrament explores craft as a transformational tool. Lineage traces ancestral inheritance in the modern self, and Surrender turns to the intelligence of matter, a thread continued in Sourdough · Tales of Creation. Domus Nostra reflects on nature as home, while Archetype looks at what is encoded in the modern psyche. Together they form living ecosystems that explore the thread of ancestry and the weight of silence, a tactile dialogue between human and geological anatomy.
Her project Sagrament was awarded the Benet Mas Prize in 2026.
