Elizaveta Bogachova is a photographer that pushes the boundaries of the medium in order to question and reflect on migration, identity, and existence. Through the project " OUR", Elizaveta sheds light on the harsh reality faced by individuals who become collateral casualties in the turmoil of their homeland's conflicts through a series of photographs printed on pieces of meat. This reflection underscores the anonymity and insignificance that often envelops those who fall victim to war, their individual sacrifices often overshadowed and forgotten within the broader scope of mass tragedy.  Elizaveta will discuss how she pushes the boundaries of photography, experimenting with photographic and printing techniques that blend the ephemeral relation between existence within natural objects and digital mass pressure.
