bio

Alexandra Dementieva is a multimedia artist who works with film, computer, video and dance. She is interested in human perception and social psychology. With her interactive multimedia installations, the artist seeks to widen the potential of the human mind for perception. Making use of different media, such as computers, video projections, soundtracks, slides and photography, Dementieva seeks to explore the depths of the spectator's perceptual experience. In her work, the spectator is invited to participate. His mind is key to the project, he is the main actor in the performance. Dementieva explores the borders between reality and virtuality, subjective perception and objective reality. She has been living in Brussels since 1991.
