About the Artist

Anastasia Samoylova is an American artist (b. 1984, Russia) who alternates between observational photography and studio practice. After relocating to Miami in 2016, Samoylova began developing an immersive, observational approach to photography. This led to her first monograph, FloodZone, a study of how environmental vulnerability is visualized in flood-prone communities. Her Floridas project continued this inquiry with a kaleidoscopic, often contradictory portrait of the state’s layered cultural and political identity. In Image Cities (2023), she turned outward to global metropolises, exploring the impact of media saturation on the urban landscape.

Her recent solo exhibition Floridas: Anastasia Samoylova and Walker Evans was on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from October 14, 2024, to May 11, 2025.
