Полный кураторский текст на русском здесь
The jacquard piece depicts a storyboard of simple actions of different people: someone wipes one’s eyes, covers his ears, rubs one’s hair, etc. Framed in animation, these small ordinary movements testify to both physical fatigue and moral exhaustion from the upheaval. The projects evolves in other media: typewriting machine available for viewer’s poetry; video-perfomance where you can see body of the weaver moving in textile labour but with no machine. On the top of that — public program with russian and foreign participants, speaking about cyberfeminism, weaving on TC2 and working with technology and craft. Meetings was held in zoom with translation into Russian and vice versa.
