performance
This project started as an audiovisual performance that explores a liminal space where sound, body, and image merge in a mystical transition between the inner and the outer, the real and the imaginary. It is a slow media environment that shifts perception, revealing the intricate membranes between states of being.
Sub – a hidden, womb-like realm, connected to the fundamental rhythm of life.
Sur – an unveiled dimension, evoking surrealism, nostalgia, and collective empathy. Dreams and reality dissolve into surreality.
Face – a threshold beyond the physical, where imagination expands, dissolving boundaries between presence and absence.
This performance was made during Time Based mentorship program in Kyiv, Ukraine with mentoring of Julia Santoli.

music album
music album
The music composition balances organic and synthetic soundscapes, layering and distorting sonic fragments like shifting memories. Mystic electronic drones, dreamy vocals, double bass, piano, delicate microsounds, and ambient recordings create a contemplative space, focusing on the body’s connection to sound and movement.
Released on a label Liky Pid Nohamy.
video art
video art
As a video art this work features “digital body landscapes” — 3D-scanned human forms projected as fluid, dissolving textures. The scanning process required stillness, transforming it into a meditation on presence and acceptance. These figures morph and fragment, mirroring the transient nature of memory and impermanence of the body.
Visual 3D development and design created by Khrystyna Kirik and Stanislav Sidletskyi.

Sub-Sur-Face as an immersive installation transforms spatial perception through designed sensory experience. Four speakers create an enveloping soundscape, while a ceiling projection casts visual narratives across the space.
Visitors who enter the installation are welcome to lie on a soft floor that serves as a neutral ground. This horizontal positioning inverts traditional interactions, positioning participants as integral elements of the environmental composition.
It becomes an act of deep listening — an excavation of submerged resonances and hidden narratives. It is a journey inward, an attempt to reach a time before body and consciousness, dissolving perception into a fluid, immersive experience.
