TARLE
A surreal reminiscence of home. The title is a reference to the name of the street in Kherson, the place where I spent my childhood.
This is a city in the south of Ukraine that has been under Russian occupation for six months now.
Soviet panel buildings are laid out in a specific pattern, easily recognized from a bird’s-eye view, but deceitfully labyrinth-like if you are inside them.
Contours and boundaries lose their clarity once you get closer and try to remember the details.
I am afraid that I am forgetting my home, which I left ten years ago, and which I started missing only now when it’s impossible to go back.
This project consists of 4 drawings, 55x55 cm each one, a video work and VR experience (video 360).
‘TARLE’ was created during the residency program in Taipei, presented at the Taiwan Annual (September, 2022)
