Tanja Muravskaja (EE, b. 1978) is an Estonian artist whose work focuses on questions of identity, social boundaries, and collective and personal memory. She is a graduate of the Estonian Academy of Arts, where she completed both a BA and an MA in Photography. Muravskaja’s creative approach sheds light on psychological themes, studying internal tensions and notions of belonging – at both the individual and social level.
Presented at Foto Tallinn, Muravskaja’s Gardens project takes conceptual cues from the surface of seawater — an optical membrane where light, time, and distance become legible. Working with reflection and glare, the series posits water as a real material condition, and the print as a surface where perception takes place. Rather than depicting a garden, the images instead construct an environment for looking, foregrounding the photograph as an object: its materiality, scale, and viewing conditions become central to its meaning.
