Un-weaving takes its origin from a linen fabric made by the artist’s Ukrainian grandmother in the 1930s, a period of severe famine in Ukraine. It was sent from Ukraine by mail with a letter explaining how it was made: from picking the plants and separating them into filaments, to spinning and weaving. For a long time the fabric remained in a drawer until the day when the artist decided to unweave it, to make it disappear. Why? For it to be reborn in another form: that of the moving image where its threads become plants once again.
