Silence, Surveillance, and Immersive Video Art: Sofia Malemina
Sofia Malemina is a London-based multimedia artist whose work spans video, sound, and immersive installation. A 2023 Fine Art graduate of Central Saint Martins, Sofia combines digital technologies with traditional techniques to explore themes like identity, perception, and the blurry line between physical and virtual space. Her influences range from the philosophical musings of Jean Baudrillard to the experimental silence of John Cage, and her practice is rooted in conceptual inquiry that feels both personal and deeply reflective. We asked Sofia about her art, creative process, and inspirations.
