Anokhina’s flowers call for close attention. Are they simply snapshots of flora, or are they something else? Historically, photography has served as an instrument to help us organize and categorize scientific knowledge. It was a way of applying rigour to the endless chaos of beauty in the world. However, Ekaterina Anokhina’s work suggests a break in this pursuit of perfection. Far from being an image of the untouchable ideal of nature, Anokhina’s flowers break, they tear apart, there is a mystical darkness about them. The flower serves as an image for the human body, with all its imperfections.

Broken Flowers

Anokhina’s work explores the relationship between personal, psychological, and emotional experiences with visual language. In her first project, 25 Weeks of Winter, the artist converts a personal experience into an emotional journey through a photographic diary.  In her second work Inner Mongolia she creates an imaginary visual space, based on her childhood fantasies. In her recent work Nudes she turns to portraiture, willing to challenge the gender stereotypes of male nudity visual representation.

In autumn 2014 Ekaterina became the winner of the International Portfolio Review at the Photovisa festival in Krasnodar, Russia, and in 2015 her work was among the top 20 best portfolios at the International portfolio review in St.Petersburg. She has been named in the top list of female photographers from Eastern Europe by the Calvert Journal. Her work has been exhibited in Russia, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Slovenia and Italy, and published in photography related online and offline media.
