Danaia Konstantinova is an Eastern European fine art photographer, filmmaker and visual artist working primarily with analogue and alternative, craft-based photographic processes. With over four years of
experience, she explores the materiality and artistic potential of analogue image-making, engaging with themes of identity, cultural heritage, personal and collective memory, and temporality.
In an era of digital saturation, I turn to handmade processes and the materiality of analogue photography as a way to encode human memory and presence within the image,
emphasising how the medium’s visual rawness, imperfections, transformative qualities and traces of decay mirror the ephemerality of lived experience.
Alongside her individual work, she is a co-founder and leading member of ROOD, a London-based art collective dedicated to fostering a supportive space for emerging artists through collective
making, exchange, and dialogue.
