In 1990s - 2000s Vita Buivid was considered to be one of the forward-thinking feminists in Russian art.[6] The most notable project in past years have been a series «How I Spent My Summer», nominated for a Kandinsky Prize in 2009,[7] colliding the collage images of peaceful relaxation with a military invasion, and «Peonymania», 2013. Both projects are based on carefully guarded family history, discovered and interpreted by the artist.

Vita Buivid's retrospective at Moscow Museum of Modern Art, 2016 – exhibition view
In 2016 Moscow Museum of Modern Art and RuArts Foundation of Contemporary Art presented the first Vita Buivid's retrospective show.[13] The project occupied five floors of the museum venue on Ermolaevsky, 17 and contained projects, created by the author from the early 1990s till the present time. It is the first time when the oeuvre of the artist is presented in such a full. The works by the artist can be attributed to the photo-based art. However, every time the artist manages to expand the borders of the genre. In her artworks, the aesthetics are united with the expressive and unfinished «democratic» photography. However, this form is filled with the in-depth content of different levels of perception. Each series by the artist is a social and cultural narrative, revealing details of the bohemian lifestyle, family conflicts, personal experiences, which turns into large-scale research, able to move the audience from the emotional maturity to existential.
