Dasha Lazo (b.1992) is a Russian-born British visual artist and photographer based in London. Her work explores body politics and the societal pressures surrounding women’s bodies, often focusing on experiences of womanhood, mental health, identity and nostalgia. Working primarily with analogue photography and moving image, she also experiments with sculpture and alternative processes. Drawing from her background in film, her work moves between still and moving images, often reflecting on themes of vulnerability, survival and resistance. Through her practice, she challenges the gaze placed on the female body, looking for ways to dismantle objectification and create space for more nuanced, personal narratives.
