RODINA LOST



Go watch.
Childhood memories and patriotism. Grandparent’s love and ideological constructs. Running errands and war propaganda.

With the help of Soviet cartoons, I try to get closer to what remains of my Russian identity between the ambiguity of family, home, and the reality of war in 2023 Saint Petersburg.

MONKEY ROUTINE - EXERCISES IN STYLE
Go watch.
The film shows the daily activities of a stuffed monkey toy ranging from attending class to reading a book in a loop. With each day passing by, the montage takes on its own chaotic momentum, day and night seamlessly shifting into each other. 

Whereas at the beginning the focus of the sequence lies on the actual day routine, the process unfolds a systematic acceleration and concentration of the respective matter.

EVE, HUMAN, SINGLE
Go watch.
Juxtaposing the AI-generated voice of Eve, who shares her absolute longing for love, and a projection of the first video material of two people kissing, the film explores my feelings towards the concept of love in the 21st century. Based on the prompt “love diary”.

Are you also looking for love?

O TANNENBAUM

Go watch.
Every 12 months, families try to find the perfect Christmas tree. They decorate it with ornaments and lights and then, they marvel at it during the festive season only to throw away the same tree after some days of wonder. 

What a curious tradition, don’t you think?
