220619 Meeting Place for Aliens

An approximately eight-minute video filmed on a borrowed cassette camera in very short cuts intended to minimise later editing. Its soundtrack is assembled separately from recordings made in different places: two pianos, a 2.5-metre paddle played on a beach, a fast boat in Vietnam, and footsteps on snow used in place of the original sound of an umbrella on sand.

— Да. И мы уже говорили, что эта чужесть — чужесть всему и всем, которую мы постоянно чувствуем и транслируем, — на самом деле является тем свойством, которое нас как раз со всеми и связывает.

It’s about how we were born, get accustomed to the bodies, that change all the time, and finally, something happens with everything. And in the course of time, we will always lose everything we adapted to. Everything turns out to be alien, and this alienation not only manifests itself in the form of loss, in the fact that we rely upon absence, but it also has another side. Nothing, in particular, belongs to us — we have only the world in complete. This nothing is a meeting place for aliens.
