Anya Gorkova Artist Portfolio

Working exclusively with photographic hand printing darkroom processes, I relate my practice to cameraless photography. In my work I explore materials used in darkroom photography: light sensitive photo paper and photochemistry, photography waste, etc. Recently, I started collaborating with darkrooms in London - I collect their “photo waste'' to create work with it, calling attention to the sustainability of the lab processes. “Queering” the notion of the photographic, I make my work in and out of the darkroom. My main areas of interest are-queerness, binaries, mental health; science of the mind, the subconscious, phenomenology of perception and linguistics.
