MY GRANDFATHER’S SKIN (video 4’45’’)
2020

Some of the repressed stories of my ancestors can be rediscovered by me and used to better understand who I am. All the stories, which were repressed, are often repeated. Respectively, we may go from the specific to the general. I want to go back to the forgotten so as not to repeat it again and to see the reasons for our current state. Knowing the reasons, we will be able to accept reality and change it.
