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.
