Viktoria Andreeva

Viktoria Andreeva is a fine-art photographer, born and raised in Bulgaria. As a former ballet dancer, her love and passion for the art of movement, has deeply influenced her aesthetic views. In 2015 she moved to Vienna to study Photography and audiovisual media at the College of Arts Die Graphische. Meanwhile, she started working on one of her biggest projects - a book about the many faces of ballet, containing personal interviews and photographic work of six professional dancers from the Vienna State Opera. She is not only using the body as a main composition element, but she plays with opposites that only contradict each other at first sight. The distortion of the figure blurs the line between reality and illusion, natural and artificial. The main goal is to interact with the viewer and to open up a field for interpretation of the story.
