VASA Exhibitions is presenting "Shadow" by Anna Pobedina.
The work of Ukrainian artist Anna Pobedina offers a challenge to the viewer in reading her images as a collective visual text. Her work in this exhibition is comprised of multiple exposed images (photomontage) presented in a linear sequential format.
What is crucial in this exhibition is the “reading” of her work. From a reader perspective each individual image, combined with another, is codified, creating a third image of the mind; the readers imagination. The constructed imagined meaning(s) of a visual experience is partly a result of reader’s social and historical location. The experience of the exhibition may or may not reproduce the intentions of the artist or author, intentions do not matter at this point, only the reading of the experienced image as code to be read and its imagined reconstruction.

On VASA Exhibitions:
VASA, since 2008, has provided an international platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko and "Why??" curated by Sandeep Biswas.
VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural. The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural. As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools. Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard. Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).
VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.
VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
