Arts Thread

Working across painting, installation, performance and audiovisual media, Sara Christova explores phenomenology, transdimensionality and the art of navigating with no horizon.Embracing alternative modes of perception and notions of distortion, decay and resonance, Christova’s work merges philosophy, physics and digital culture in a critique of the entropic nature of a global, networked civilization. Her approach to contemporary life, spirituality and the sciences as entwined ontological narratives, allows her to investigate the liquid, fluctuating nature of these frameworks through intersections ubiquitous to our present moment in time.Emphasising the disjointed and non-linear experience of time in the digital era and the notion that linear timelines are an altogether fictional construct, she aims to better understand how contemporary myths, accelerationism and xenotemporality merge to produce an explicit and tactile impression of what it means to exist in an age of compounding crises.Since graduating from Cardiff School of Art and Design (BA Hons Illustration, 2016), Christova's work has beenexhibited internationally (notably Tate Modern Lates, the Bulgarian National Palace of Culture, and National Museum Cardiff), and has collaborated with a range of artists, collectives and institutions (IKLECTIK, W1Curates, Genesis Cinema, tactileBOSCH, London Paint Club). In 2023 she was awarded a Distinction for her Graduate Diploma in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art, where she went on to complete her MA in Contemporary Art Practice.
