Video artwork by Lidia Russkova-Hasaya Cleansing is a series of episodes filmed over several years in diverse locations, each depicting a person undergoing a process of purification—a detox from everyday worries, the relentless rhythm of crowded cities, inescapable flows of information, brand enforcement, and the omnipresence of mass culture. Here, cleansing becomes a metaphorical act, with the objects used by performers to achieve clarity always strictly site-specific, mirroring both context and moment. Cleansing is universal—practiced across societies, geographies, and eras. The question is—how?
