Half-Running Hand
The video work sources its inspiration from research on Russian culture in its historic and contemporary perspective.A contemporary view on the fierce relation between language and body is translated through the montage of body representations and manipulations on it with custom made tools that are designed in the shapes of ancient Cyrillic letter, excluded from contemporary alphabet. Imaginary artifacts that cut through and tear apart the human matter in its bodily presence.
