meanwhile
The work was created by three Russians: Anna lives in Germany a while, Yana and Tanya moved in 2023 and currently are coming through the difficulties of immigration, lack of funds, bureaucracy, language barrier, they are looking for an opportunity to continue their artistic practice.
Immigration takes strength and yet refines the senses, by reassembling identity, it also reassembles the world around it. The authors want to share this sense of timelessness and new sources of awareness.
Everyone is waiting for the war to end.
Everyone is tired of waiting.
The known things have not led to anything good.
We are searching for new meanings. We are looking at the ordinary and minimal gestures, zooming inside for an answer, infusing minimal actions with ritual quality. Discovering new meanings in the process of doing we are changing the optics in order to reconfigure the attention.
We borrow strategies from meditation and from stress-coping, balancing between stillness and calmness on one side and obsessive-compulsive impulses on the other with the purpose to experience an order.
“Meanwhile” uses flow as a tool activating the whole spectrum of feelings: time moves forward and changes the way we feel. The purpose of being is being.
