RELATIVE WIND (2023)

Performance, video (2:09)

The video performance “Relative wind”, continuing the work “Decision altitude”, radically changes the vector of the artist’s intention. Coming to the north of Kazakhstan, to the place of their birth and childhood spent in a military camp, Bogomolova goes to the graves of their relatives — father and grandfather, both served in the military transport aviation, as well as grandmother. In the video, a parachute which appeared in the first performance is transforming from a means of escape into an embracing cover in the winter steppe wind. That’s how the manifest of rejection is replaced by a gesture of acceptance.
