HYSTERIA video
The video was created in collaboration with the artist and composer Alina Petrova. The action, recorded on tape and then digitized into our reality, documents some form of ritual, where
a body interacts with objects to become their part, their continuation. Much like a shaman, the artist becomes a mediator between his own imagined world and the modern reality.
During the video, one can hear the traditional algys (and appeal to the spirits by a shaman during his ritual) in Yakut language.
The rapidly-disappearing native tongue slowly becomes an abstract noise, which carries the observer into the void of an altered state.
