As a part of Debris on a Luminous Plain exhibition, Olga Grotova will join us for the artist talk followed by a screening of her previous work One (2016) https://vimeo.com/181609168
The Ice Rink (2017)
Olga’s films’ narratives are constructed around kaleidoscopic timelines, which shuffle the temporary planes inside a work’s hermetic system. The films reveal the mechanisms of creating a fiction whilst simultaneously being situated inside of it.
