Into The Deep (2024) Alina Gorlova / Tabor Collective
Into The Deep (2024)
Three-channel mirror installation, digital video, color, stereo sound, 11m loop.
A multi-channel mirror video installation composed of first-hand documentary footage filmed by Ukrainian collective Tabor during more than two years of full-scale invasion. The mirrors are used to blend visual and auditory elements for an immersive sensory experience. The installation employs the motif of water to go into the depths of the mind, reflecting emotions, tension, and fear. It explores the profound connections between war and the relentless nature of water, highlighting the impacts of war and natural disasters. By juxtaposing firsthand experiences with mediated images, the mirrored reflections and captured streamed video of the spectators create a unique, immersive corridor, offering a powerful exploration of these themes. Combining physical and digital aspects, the technology (mirrors, webcam, and projectors) used provides an alive, dynamic, and unpredictable effect. This project is part of the documentary trilogy "The Days I Would Like To Forget".
