Lara works with photography, video, objects, sound, and installation, choosing the most precise combination of tools from searching for oldest photographic techniques to turning new technologies and working with neural networks.
The sphere of her interest comprises the questions about communications changings between persons and their environment, also social, psychological and other issue of human perception formation.
    Analog processes for obtaining photographic images are of particular interest to her. By rethought and revising these slow "outdated" technologies give incredible opportunities to the artist and are therefore relevant. They temporality differs from high speeds nowadays, so allows the nature of human and the world around to manifest themself in a new way.
    In January 2018 I won «TAKE OFF» competition and presented the personal exhibition ‘Retina’ at VDNKh (All-Russia Exhibition Centre), Moscow. Curator Olga Shishko says about the exhibition: «Larisa Fedotova continues experimenting with the definition of the boarders of the inner and the outer and explores a ‘new vision’. The vision is no longer perceived as a geometrical projection of the visible world’s reflection; instead, it shifts into the internal body sensations, such as tactility and kinaesthetics. Besides attempting to go beyond perception of reality, which is what can be observed physically, Larisa seeks to transform the mere act of seeing into an experience of intellect. ‘Retina’ showcases a gap between reality, perception and image.»
    In 2015 my work ‘Paper boats’ was selected for participate in VI Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, parallel program ‘Event horizons’. In 2018 I re-implemented wide-scale my work ‘Behind the event horizon’ in The State Hermitage Museum, Saint-Petersburg. This work was based on happenings involving many random people near canals banks in Saint-Petersburg, then wide-scale interactive installation was realized in The General Staff Building of The Hermitage.
