The russian artist talks about her works Evergreen and Exile Exotic, exhibited in the 20th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil. In the video Evergreen, footage of a lost world (ours) is the backdrop to the voice-over by an immortal traveler. In undefined space and time, buildings, people, and plants resemble the debris of an unknown history. In Exile Exotic. the artist narrates how she went into exile with her mother in Turkey, using a replica of the Kremlin built in a hotel as a setting. While tourists enjoy the pool, her memories take us to the surroundings of the Russian fortress, a symbol of State oppression and power struggles. The artist states: “It is about the relationship between nature and culture and their inseparability".
