Andrey Ivanov (b. 1977, Moscow) is an artist and photographer working with contemporary and research-based photography.
In his projects, he explores photography as an independent artistic language. He is interested in different ways of working with images, photographic techniques, and forms of storytelling.
His work focuses on themes such as national identity, cultural codes, collective memory and the unconscious, as well as mystical and spiritual experience. In some of his projects, photography becomes a form of meditation and a kind of ritual.
Andrey Ivanov’s works have been shown in solo and group exhibitions at the Brandts Museum (Odense, Denmark), the Metenkov House Museum of Photography (Yekaterinburg), the Smena Center for Contemporary Culture (Kazan), the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (Moscow), and Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art (St. Petersburg), as well as at festivals such as Photovisa, Silver Camera, the Moscow and Baltic Biennales, and internationally. His works are held in both museum and private collections.
