Irina Komissarova (she/her) is a scenographer and transdisciplinary artist researcher based in Europe since 2011, primarily in Lithuania. She works within expanded scenography, treating it as spatial dramaturgy and composing atmosphere through rhythm, proximity, timing, sound, light, and minimal material interventions.

She is an MA graduate of the Norwegian Theatre Academy, where she developed an artistic research approach rooted in embodied perception. Her background also includes studies in Interior and Environmental Design at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Moscow, a BA in Scenography from the Vilnius Academy of Arts, and further training through programs at the Meyerhold Centre and the Moscow Art Theatre School.

In 2025, she completed a year long internship at Studio Tosatti in Naples and contributed to Paradiso, a large scale site specific project presented during Milan Art Week and Milan Design Week 2025. Her portfolio spans theatre scenography, installations, and public space interventions across European cities, alongside independent performative and audiovisual works.

Her current research unfolds through the universe of de:manifestation, a series of related projects and iterations where scenography becomes a medium for difficult-to-represent subjects and a visual language for what cannot always be addressed directly. Through sound, light, timing, thresholds, repetition, and controlled absence, she constructs situations where meaning appears, dissolves, or remains partially withheld. Her practice examines how perception is shaped by rupture, tension, memory, and bodily response.
