About Anastasia

Anastasia Samoylova is an American artist (b. 1984, Russia) who alternates between observational photography and studio practice. Her exhibition, 'Floridas: Anastasia Samoylova and Walker Evans,' is on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from October 14, 2024, to May 11, 2025.

Upon relocating to Miami, Florida, in 2016, she pursued observational photographic practice, leading to her first monograph, FloodZone, which formed a study on the visualization of environmental threats posed to flood-risked communities in Miami and beyond. In her Floridas project, she gestures toward the state of Florida itself, forming a kaleidoscopic and contradictory portrait of how the state’s unique cultural and political psyche manifests in visual form. In 2021, Samoylova began Image Cities, in which she trained her lens globally within some of the world’s most significant urban centers while examining the images that cover their surfaces.

Her recent exhibitions include the Nasher Museum of Art, C/O Berlin; V&A Dundee; Fundación MAPFRE Madrid and Barcelona; Amerika Haus Munich; George Eastman Museum; Chrysler Museum of Art; and Kunst Haus Wien. In 2022 Samoylova was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize.

Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Perez Art Museum, Miami; High Museum of Art, Atlanta; and Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; among others. Published monographs include FloodZone (Steidl, 2019), Floridas (Steidl, 2022), Image Cities (Fundación Mapfre/Hatje Cantz 2023), and Adaptation (Thames & Hudson, 2024).
