Katerina Egorova (b. 1997, Yakutsk) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Moscow. She works in the field of photography and videography, performative and applied practices. Egorova’s projects are focused on the exploration of human bonds, the nature of identity, the flexibility and inconsistency of memory, finding rhymes in the random set of everyday life. The emphasis of the sphere of her practices is laid on her own body, as a tool and a form in which the reconstruction, living and consolidation of the personal experiences, the recreation of the abandoned occur.
