Since 1990 she has taken part in numerous exhibitions worldwide. In 1994, Vita received a grant from the CIRC Foundation promoting cultural exchange between Russia and the Netherlands and worked on a project regarding the influence of Dutch art on Russian culture. [5] With support from Rutgers University, she travelled to New York to work on a photo project, and also was influenced by fashion photography and started to work with local fashion magazines on her return to Russia. In 2000 Vita received a grant from la Mairie de Paris and spent two months at the Cité internationale des arts residence working on project «Paris. Red» and produced a limited edition artist book.

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.

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.
