*histories of spaces and stories of more-than-humans colliding and creating worlds of its own
*what can and cannot be archived, how (un)archiving practices subvert our relations and perceptions
*methodologies of walking (in particular walking-with) as a practice of (un)archiving more- than-humans together with the spaces we inhabit
*written text as a performance
*care as an all-piercing methodology / approach to working-with
At the residency this September Bohdana would continue developing her methodology of (un)archiving, while looking for the ways to make it happen-with care. For that she would attempt to rework Kanuti Gildi Saal’s archives, piled for the past 20 years and hidden from the human eye in the basement. With documentation as her main tool, she would try to write the space with re- collections of these archives.
Bohdana Korohod (b. 1997) is Ukrainian independent researcher and interdisciplinary artist, currently living and working in Estonia. Within her broader not-yet-established practice she works with found materials, from objects picked-up on the street to overheard stories, which she treats as material for the processes of (un)archiving. Bohdana tries to make it obvious that what she does is creating an unexpected order of what is already there rather than making an original work. Thus, her main tools are documentation which she performs-with text, photo, and video recordings. Currently her artistic research practice is focused on developing the methodology of (un)archiving local-ized (hi)stories.
From May 2020 she's a part of eˉlektron, platform that creates and presents transdisciplinary artworks/performances for both physical and virtual stage.
