Bodies for the Text (Projection Study)

"Bodies for the Text" explores the search of a literary text for new corporeality. Fragments of the artist’s novel detach from the printed page and inhabit bodies, surfaces and environments, turning reading into a spatial, physical act. As letters slide across skin, fur, light and shadow, the text becomes a living substance, stretching, resisting, dissolving, seeking a habitat beyond the conventions of language.

The series is built around the idea of a narrow corridor: an interior space where reader and author coexist within a single consciousness. Here the written word abandons the stability of ink, shedding its ascetic geometry to become light, colonizing new surfaces, trembling with movement, and producing meaning through contact rather than interpretation.

Across all stages of the project, "Bodies for the Text" examines literature not as content to be understood, but as a body with its own will to appear, to be seen, and to survive.

Skin & Bones (Study)

In Skin & Bones, written text encounters the human body as a transient and unstable surface. Projected as light, language maps itself onto skin, breath, muscle, and movement, transforming reading into a physical process. Letters stretch, fragment, and momentarily lose legibility as posture and rhythm shift.

The works are situated within a narrow architectural corridor, where walls amplify the projection and the body absorbs it. The human figure becomes both page and performer. Meaning does not arise through interpretation, but through contact: through tension, vulnerability, and duration. Literature temporarily acquires flesh, remaining inseparable from motion and disappearance.

Furs & Hides (Study)

Изображённые здесь животные не распознают присутствия языка. Они не читают и не отвечают. Текст наносит удар по морде козла и оседает на панцире черепахи как поверхность длительности, переносимой во времени без осознания. Он существует без адресата.
