Cleansing
Video artwork by Lidia Russkova-Hasaya “Cleansing” is a series of episodes, which were shot by the artist throughout the years in diverse locations. Each episode is picturing a person, who is going through the process of cleansing, detoxification from everyday worries, the rhythm of crowded cities, inescapable flows of information, brands, mass culture. Cleansing here is a metaphorical process. Objects, which help to achieve clarity, are strictly site-specific, mirroring the context and the moment.
Cleansing is something we all do—in all parts of society, in all geographical locations, and in all periods of time. The question is—how?
