]]> This ironic video novella is about young lady in the bathroom of a communal apartment in St. Petersburg city. We cannot separate her dreams and memories from the reality.

The work is made ina creative tandem with Mayya Popova who plays the lead role and performs the acrobatic solo in the bathroom. The male roles are improvised by students of the German Film Academy. The artist was interested in a performing component of the project and its transformation through editing.

“Through movement, through dance hidden meanings are communicated, the ones that are difficult to articulate by words or in a text. They are stored in the subconsciousness and may be seen and guessed at, deciphered, yet not fully… About fleeting, about feelings. About sensual. Movement turning into a visible contour of a sign. Sound making movement unreal”
