Her pieces are built from data: gathered, systematised, and arranged into narratives that ask audiences to move through them rather than simply observe. Drawing on her background in psychology, Selivanova is drawn to the moment when a perspective shifts — the unreliable narrator, the broken fourth wall, the sudden reframe. Interactive and participatory media allow her to stage these moments, making the viewer a subject as much as a witness.
Recent work includes This Compromised Oil, an investigation into the contradictions of sanctioned Russian oil, and On Skin, exploring the boundary between body and data. Her current project Them and Us extends her practice into workshop-based research, creating game narratives with psychotherapists and people in therapy — continuing her method of collecting voices from multiple roles within the same system and letting their contradictions speak.
