INTERSEASON (2025)




Instalation. Sound, batiste, acrylic.
240 x 400 x 350 
The time between seasons is a transition, a pause, a premonition of the unknown, when it is necessary to reconnect with what has been lost. In the off-season, there is a need to find support and a safe place. The installation refers to the image of a house, which becomes a projection of inner experience. Photographs from the family archive are deprived of their physical medium, translating the material into a soundscape.

The voice neutrally describes visual details, using the impersonal language of ekphrasis, depriving them of emotional attachment and thus fixing the mechanics of interaction with the space of collective memory. The open structure is permeable and illusory. It refers to a special mode of life on the border, where the ghost of an event exists and does not exist at the same time.

The house becomes a place of flickering—the instability of memories, their flashes and disappearances, their transformation and distortion over time. Passing through the layers, the viewer has the opportunity to reconstruct and redirect their experience, connecting with the imprint of another.
