  • Vanezuva

    Vanezuva is an interdisciplinary artist working with video, sound, photography, painting, AI, and blockchain. Her practice examines how global powers shape perception, influence lived conditions, and affect humanity’s relationship with nature and technology. Drawing from her photographs, field recordings, and paintings, she merges lived reality with surrealism and abstraction, and uses the “Sur (real)” as a metaphor to highlight the complexities of navigating multiple environments. Through a culturally hybrid perspective, she explores how people and nature become commodified within economic structures, and produces work in support of an alternative future. Technology is essential to her process. AI reveals the biases embedded within contemporary systems, and sound provides the architecture for her films and installations. Her work invites viewers to understand how their lives intersect with others, and encourages a more engaged sense of responsibility within an interdependent world. vanezuva.com
