crystal clear and gemstone rare (2015)

video, text: Maru Mushtrieva, 7.27’

This text/video loop is a poetic exploration of the tension between the performance of the expected behavior in an individualistic society and the disappearance of self-connected to it. Subsequently, moving between the melancholic gesture and self-justification, it questions collectivism as an alternative as well as discards it in its extreme forms.
