Love Letters

2024 – (ongoing)

10 or more unsealed envelopes with letters in Russian and English, a series of performances

In a rapidly tightening spiral of boundless cruelty, senseless killings, and consuming surface-level evil, what helps me stay grounded are true loves, carefully guarded memories of moments of closeness, and sudden flashes of erotic desire. These letters, addressed to my men — separated (or perhaps united) by three decades and three countries — are my attempt to catch hold of a kite strong enough to pull me out of the cold and grim madness that the newsfeed keeps dragging me and my loved ones into.

The project features a photograph by Joakim Palm Karlsson.
