Unforgivible deed

Helenka 2024

Retracing a gloomy past, an eerie project looking for confrontation and regaining control of former unforgivable transgressions.Returning after 17 years with a family heirloom.

Gifted accordion a heirloom with inherited trauma. The act can be seen as a attempted erasure of an left over link to haunting and dark transgressions and past. Cleansing the remenents with fire; severing the intergenerational bridge. ‘Damotio Memoriae’ a metamorphosiesd refusal to carry on the existence or linear memory of the transgressor kept alive by means of generation.

5-minute 55-second documentary film weaves together performance art, soundscape, and poetic writing.
