Х LETTERS

Надзя Саяпiна 2022–2023
Concept, modelling by Nadya Sayapina. Music, video and post-production by Eugene Buldyk. Vocals by Neue Vocalsolisten ensemble.

Our reflections, statements, notes, memoirs, interviews, discussions and debates of posts, stories and comments are drowning in the endless depths of social media feeds, they become censored and self-censored. Textualised self-expression and reflection of context in the public space of networks loses its value and relevance in the mass stream. This causes an urgent need to press the »save« button, to archive, to convert it to the basis of a chronicle of the time.

X Letters is a video–diary, which correlates and combines in one “book” of different contexts and human stories reflecting the theme of exile, migration and refugee, loss of home, choice, adaptation and existential crisis caused by the war in Ukraine and political repressions in Belarus. This is a commemoration of personal experiences and reflections from social media posts and comments, interview fragments and multimedia archives collected during the artist’s research.

The project was started in 2022 in the framework of the program ECHOES–Voices from Belarus IV of Musik der Jahrhunderte Stuttgart e.V. and presented on the PlatformB.
