Max Svitlo (UA) and Salt Salome (KZ) are interdisciplinary artists working at the intersection of ritual performance, post-dramatic theatre, experimental film and installation. Their collaborative practice, which began in 2022, is a fragile "act of existence within catastrophe". The central focus of their research is the perception of time under conditions of extreme experience: how it slows down, collapses, dissociates and loses direction. Instead of linear narratives, the artists create "state spaces" - affects. Their work is born out of the experience of irreversible loss - of roots, homes, loved ones, language, personal objects, the very sense of sustainability. The main figure of their practice is the 'post-hero': a disoriented,fragmented, amnesiac and traumatised body -- drifting through the territories of post-memory with ineffable pain inside. Svitlo and Salome's work forms a particular psychogeography - internal landscapes where the threshold between the personal and the collective, between memory and imagination, is blurred.

THE CHRONICLES OF ANACHORET: “I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO”

The Chronicles of Anachoret is an experimental film at the intersection of mimodrama, expanded cinema, and philosophical reflection on war, memory, and displacement. It continues the narrative of the previous movie “Synumeru - soniakh”, where the shock of catastrophe fractures time, dissolving linearity and pushing the protagonists into a state of post-traumatic delirium.
