My Absolution

 

Russian artist Victor Alimpiev translates simple actions into cryptic performance. Free continuous loop.

Victor Alimpiev's work imbues the simplest gestures with mystery and consequence. An actress performs a sequence of enigmatic actions towards the nape of a second woman's neck in a performance that creates an almost sculptural tension which is never quite released.
