Since 2018 I run the project Matryoshka. In 2019 and 2020 I worked with Alina Avsharova and Viktoria Eliseykina. In our performances and visual works we were dealing with issues of life and death, well-being, un/healthy relationships and connections, motherhood, feminism and hierarchy, (non)acceptance of society.
For the first performance in the Matryoshka series, traum.at (2018), I collected in anonymous public inquiries in social media and from personal records with friends quotes that hurt us, that influenced us and our lives. Quotes from close and beloved people as well as random persons, who left a trace in our psychic, soul and body. We kept on enriching the list of quotes and during performances dealt with those issues – with different media and performative techniques, finding ways to our core and build a new, working connection with the other. In total it was four performances in 2019 and 2020.
