The only way to achieve complete knowledge is hidden in the act of love:
love goes beyond thoughts and words.
However, intellectual - psychological - knowledge
is an indispensable prerequisite for full knowledge through the act of love.
I have to objectively know the other person and myself,
To see what she really is,
or, rather, to get rid of illusions, my distorted perception.
The project should reflect the problem of families separated (due to the war in Ukraine) by reproducing the communication of spouses at a distance.
As of June 2022, almost half of Ukrainians, or rather 44%, had to be temporarily separated from their families during the war. Such data from a sociological survey was published by the "Rating" group. The largest number of those who had to part with their relatives are in the east (54%), the least - in the west (39%). Among young people, such 50% is the highest indicator by age.
Video (projection) was chosen as the main medium as the best means to reflect the unreality of communication - sound distortion, delay and image deformation.
The basis of this work is the documentary files (video, audio and text) accumulated during the stay at the residence. They are a fixation of two parallel realities in which the artists are. It is this process of exchange of news and emotions that is, in a global sense, a reflection of Ukrainian society, which is divided into that which left the country during the hostilities, and that which remained. These two large groups face star problems and dangers, and equally seek connection with each other, which can be especially vividly observed in family relationships.
