Desert of Time

In a situation where boundaries are blurred, where information is devalued by the so-called "information war", where it is impossible to distinguish truth from lies, Maria Gvardeitseva uses the AI technique to create a video work with a scorpion burrowing into the sand. Against a background of gloom and inaction, the scorpion represents a kind of fear, the horror of what happens when you run away from information. He doesn't want to be part of people and confront them, but at the same time he can mortally wound them. The scorpion does not immediately attack a person and only bites when it feels threatened, as well as when it is forced into a dark corner or when a person puts on shoes or clothes in which it has hidden.
The video-art is a part of the Between Dog and Wolf performance.
