Begin
May 2017 I finish and edited the first part of my video project
Anticipating You. I created the video in collaboration with the
theater group STAGE DFT in St. Petersburg, Russia. Finally the
project will include three parts all based on poems by Aleksandr Blok
and Anna Akhmatova
Based
on the poem > Anticipating You < by the Russian poet Aleksandr
Blok (St.Petersburg, 1880-1921). The video work is simultaneity a
metaphoric investigation and interpretation of the poem , as well
about the city of St. Petersburg. The work approach the
interpretation and investigation in two ways at the same time>
Through performance and visual images about the city. Influenced by
Solovyov's doctrines, Blok had vague apocalyptic apprehensions and
often vacillated between hope and despair.

The heavy dream of simple wordly conscience
You
will shake off with pangs of love and rue.
V. Solovyov
Anticipating
you, as years go by, so drear,
I see the same old image
anticipating you.
The skyline is on fire, and it’s
extremely clear.
I wait for you in silence with pangs of
love and rue.
The
skyline is on fire - your vision is so near,
I am afraid
you’ll change and will not look the same,
You will
arouse suspicion incurring wrath, my dear,
By changing your
appearance, the features and the frame.
I will break
down in grief, frustrated and austere,
Unable to subdue the
mortal dreams again!
The
skyline is so lucid. The lustre is so near.
I am afraid
you’ll change and will not look the same.
