Larisa Sitar (b. 1984, Baia Mare) lives and works in Bucharest. Soon after graduating in Photography and Moving Image at the National University of Arts in Bucharest, her practice evolved from two-dimensional imagery to encompass object-based and site-specific installations. Her work investigates the shifting landscape of social and cultural values in relation to political histories, socio-economic transformations, technological change, and humanity’s entanglement with the natural environment. Drawing on a wide range of techniques, Sitar often blends digital processes with traditional, artisanal methods, creating a dialogue between the past and present. Central to her practice is a concern with materiality and collective memory – materials are selected not just for their formal qualities, but for their cultural resonance and ability to conjure historical or symbolic meaning. Her installations act as critical reflections on heritage, identity, and the layered narratives embedded within physical and architectural space.
