golden stars: everyday sacredness
anna samoylova curated by sophie nowakowska15.11 - 23.11
open
sat-sun / 2-6pm
Golden Stars: Everyday Sacredness is an ongoing visual diary in which I portray daily life with my daughter.
These small, intimate portraits are based on fragments from our routine — feeding, sleeping, caring, moments of tenderness and exhaustion.
I print the images by hand and embellish them with golden threads, glass beads, and pearls, recalling the tradition of Orthodox icons that were once adorned by ordinary women for protection and devotion.
The project moves between two visual languages — the sacred image and the digital photo stream.
Where the phone’s camera roll mechanically collects endless traces of care, embroidery turns these fleeting moments into something lasting and tactile.
Through this process, I address the invisible labour of motherhood — repetitive gestures of attention and love that sustain life but often remain unseen or undervalued.
Gold here is not about luxury; it is a quiet form of reverence, a way to recognize the sacred within the ordinary.
black carnation: case study no. 2
konstantin zhukov curated by goh wei hao5.12-14.12
Black Carnation: Case Study No. 2 explores the first gay parties in Latvia, organised after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and unfolding against a backdrop of political upheaval and economic uncertainty of 1990s. Among the parties referenced in the video installation is one held at the Museum of Medicine in Riga. Within the museum’s corridors, surrounded by medical instruments once used to classify and pathologise queer bodies, partygoers carved out a fragile world of freedom and connection — improvising, as they danced, a new language of intimacy. Black Carnation: case study No. 2 brings these places into dialogue, collapsing the distance between Riga and Camberwell, between the 1990s and the present.
