The prizewinner of the competition
DAFES choice. August 2025 

«Lost» is a spatial installation project and a video chorography that explores the state of slippery identity and the fixation of disorder as a loss. Unmarked losses, which are quickly getting used to. Who don’t get names. The project requires neither pity nor an answer. He records the moment when a disappearance ceases to be an event and becomes the norm.

Digital choreography fragments

On the floor is a shelium, a zecurative structure made of wood, reminiscent of a posture or a memorial shelves. Inside it is a hidden projector aimed at the ceiling, where a fraction of the digital process is played over and over again. Over the head is the white ceiling on which choreography repeats: the digital doppelganger of an artist falls indefinitely, disappears, twitches, falls again. These movements were collected from the libraries of the suicide movements of the game bodies — and applied to the digitally digitized body of the artist himself.

Schematic of the installation

In the wooden structure, only traces of the presence — light, motion, void, sound — are preserved. The body doesn’t appear here, but its absence is tangible. It’s an architecture that disappears. It’s an attempt to keep not the shape, but its memory. A sound composition inside a design is not a soundtrack, but a residual noise. It’s built on a rhythm that looks like a machine that doesn’t have a task. The digital body on the ceiling repeats its choreography, sound — it captures it in rhythm without explaining or accompanying it. Together, they create an environment where disappearance becomes a concept, not an event.

«Lost» is a monument where memory is no longer left, but the structure of loss remains. It’s an attempt to preserve something that doesn’t even matter to itself: — sensitivity, vulnerability, right to be non-functional.
