Upiór and Guests

This 3-channel installation uses the figure of a Slavic vampire as a metaphor for migrant identity and otherness. The work explores the notions of truth and fiction by examining various tools and systems of power that seem to allow us to distinguish one from the other. The piece explores issues of colonialism, academic classism and ethics of representation. It tells a story of losing one’s identity and reinventing oneself anew.
