- “FILM FESTIVAL” пространство Sisters Room Artist Run Space, curator Anastasia Rykunova, (Tbilisi, Georgia), 2024.
- “THE BORDERS” online exhibition, Particles association, 2023.
A joint project of Anya Bobrovskaya, Alena Fedorchenko and Maria Kutuzova.
A performance exploring themes of sacrifice, transformation and the connection between humans and the natural world.
By design, suffering is not aestheticized, but viewed in light of the transformative power of sacrifice. The eternal cycle of life and death is shown, as well as the cathartic potential it carries.
Butoh dancers participate in the performance. In butoh technique, the body is used as an instrument of expression; through movements, emotions are evoked and a connection with the subtle world is established.
The video features three separate Essences that symbolize different facets of the human psyche.
Interpretation of these entities is suggested based on one’s own experience.At the center of the work is a figure dressed in a bright red dress.
The bright color emphasizes the complexity of the victim archetype.
The dress is made in the form of a spider’s web, metaphorically representing the idea of intangible threads that connect all living things.
Over the course of the narrative, viewers are invited to reflect on their own perceptions of the idea of sacrifice and how that idea affects individuals and communities.
