Chepelyk Oksana
Deaf-Mute Chorus
A conceptual video based on Oksana Chepelyk`s performance realised in Kiev at the Center of Deaf-Mute People. If a geture of the deaf-mute has an informational capacity, the absurdity of collective gesture is transformed into an existential metaphor. It is a reverberation between exile and belonging as a reaction to United Europe and Ukraine. The project discloses the impossibility of choice, of communication and the lack of voice in the collective chorus.
