Kazmina works at the intersection of performance art, moving image and critical media theory. Her main focus is the relationship between modern body and media, the mediality of experience, and the embodied memory. Since 2015, Kazmina has been working on her debut feature, “Underwater,” which evolved into an online exhibition.

Just before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Kazmina developed a series of walks-lectures, “Contemporary History of Ukraine,” and a bio-art project, “Dead/ly Landscapes or I Myself Should Become All Places I Loved.” Currently, Kazmina is conducting research on the relationship between ritual, cybernetics and moving image, focusing on the work of Kyiv-born avant-garde artist and filmmaker Maya Deren.
