Statement

Nina Bumbalkova is a London-based visual artist, cinematographer, and director working across photography and moving image. Her practice explores themes of memory, identity, landscape, and human presence through documentary observation and visual research.

With over ten years of experience in film and visual storytelling, Nina’s work moves between still and moving images, often focusing on atmosphere, fragmentation, and quiet moments of transition. Her projects have been shown internationally through film festivals, exhibitions, and broadcast platforms. She is interested in creating work that is both visually immersive and emotionally resonant, with a strong emphasis on process, place, and sensory detail.

GlogauAIR Project

During the residency, I would like to continue developing my ongoing Book of Trees project — a long-term visual exploration of trees as living witnesses to time, memory, and place. The project combines photography, moving image, and collage to examine the emotional and symbolic relationship between landscape and personal history.

My approach is rooted in close observation and intuitive image-making. I am interested in the textures, rhythms, and quiet transformations of natural environments, and in how trees can hold traces of absence, resilience, and change. Through this residency, I plan to deepen the visual and conceptual language of the project by revisiting existing material, producing new collage works, and experimenting with sequencing and presentation.

The residency will offer valuable space for reflection, dialogue, and refinement. I hope to use this time to expand the project’s form and consider how it might evolve into a publication or exhibition-based work.
