SASHAPASHA is a Helsinki-based artistic duo formed in 2009 in St. Petersburg by Sasha Rotts and Pavel Rotts. The artists work in various media: installation, performance, painting, embroidery, sculpture, sound art and video art. The duo works with personal and collective memory, in addition to microhistory. They explore the legacy of the Soviets in contemporary culture and the historical trauma of the Gulag system.
In Finland, the duo’s projects were presented in such places as Lappeenranta Art Museum and Joensuu Art Museum in festivals such as the Mantta Art Festival, in exhibitions such as the Ars-Hame Summer Exhibition, and in galleries such as HUUTO, Stoa, Exhibition Laboratory, Acusmata and others. Many of the duo’s site-specific projects have been realised in international artist residencies such as Zarya AIR, Vladivostok, Russia; PolArt residency, Norilsk, Russia; Uto residency, Aland Islands, Finland and NART, Narva, Estonia.
