Still will I harvest beauty where it grows:
In coloured fungus and the spotted fog
Surprised on foods forgotten; in ditch and bog
Filmed brilliant with irregular rainbows

Valentina began to scan dead animals and experimenting with scanography at the beginning of 2000 She has recently started to work with this medium again and her latest work SMALL DEATHS was exhibited at the GUM museum as part of DARK EXHIBITION (2023) in Gent, Belgium.
SMALL DEATHS
black & white, 1997-2023
This series is a collection of dead little animals deceased by natural causes, possibly killed by disease, by predators or stillborn. Arranged on the bed of a scanner, they appear ethereal and peaceful, as if sleeping.
