In A Lair, I rein­ter­pret old myths and Sla­vic rituals, using amu­le­ts from my chil­d­hood home, which was a ware­hou­se of my grandmother’s cabi­ne­ts of curio­si­ties. Throu­gh per­for­ma­ti­ve acti­vi­ties, objec­ts, instal­la­tions and por­trai­ts, I com­bi­ned the fore­st spa­ce with the spa­ce of the hou­se. My work resul­ts in a series of sym­bo­lic ima­ges dea­ling with […]

CHIL­LUNS’ CROON

Chil­luns’ Croon inve­sti­ga­tes the­mes such as absen­ce, remem­bran­ce, spi­ri­tua­li­ty, and mor­ta­li­ty among for­mer­ly ensla­ved peo­ple in Wil­son Coun­ty, North Caro­li­na.

I con­duc­ted exten­si­ve research on the Wil­son Coun­ty area and esta­bli­shed a rela­tion­ship […]

NON FIC­TION

“To give truth the colour and nar­ra­ti­ve for­ce of fic­tion”, this was Tru­man Capote’s ambi­tion when he wro­te ‘In Cold Blood’, the true account of a qua­dru­ple homi­ci­de in 1960s Kan­sas. It is the star­ting point for Non Fic­tion, a work of lyri­cal docu­men­ta­ry that explo­res the porous boun­da­ry bet­ween fact and fic­tion in pho­to­gra­phy. […]
