The idea for the art video came to me immediately after seeing the building. I felt that its architecture resonated with my movement language and the way I perceive space. I became curious about its history and began to learn more about this striking structure. The building was originally designed as an experimental market and constructed in 1973 by Soviet female architect Alla Onishenko. At the time, people dreamed of space exploration and a bright, futuristic future for everyone. Today, this period is often referred to as Early Soviet Modernism. All of my rehearsals took place in and around the building. I touched, observed, and discovered its different forms, trying to connect with its textures, lines, proportions, and atmosphere. The architecture gradually became an active part of my movement research. Through the movement, I explored the building as if it were another body - tracing its geometry, angles, lines, and rhythm. My movement language became a way of translating its architecture into physical form, searching for a connection between the precision of my gestures and the monumental structure surrounding me. The building felt both monumental and strangely futuristic - a vision of the future imagined decades ago. I wanted to reveal this quality through movement: to mirror its sharp geometry, experiment with its perspectives, and bring its architecture into a living, kinetic form. Rather than simply performing in the space, I was trying to become part of its structure and discover the building through my own body.
