Under The Water / Above The Water
Video installation with sound.

The existence without sound and verbal communication can turn out into an advantage (at least for a short-term) for an arriving to new discoveries… One has no time to present herself/himself with "the best side" in this state…
The work will consist of a rear projection, on which underwater portraits will "swim" like in a large aquarium. The swimming figures passing by remind you to authentic "ichtianders" – the personage out of famous Beljaeff's science-fiction "Amphibiousman"*.

The scientist in "Amphibiousman" created from his son Ichtiander the amphibiousman (pointing the way forward creature), who can exist above the water as well as under the water. All this for the higher things (noble-minded). Avaricious pearl-dealers catch him and exploit for their advantage. At the end is Ichtiander a failure of utopian dream. He can't live up among people and disappears in the ocean forever…
