Dasia's fairy tales
The installation took place in the historical halls of the museum dedicated to the life and work of the Russian opera singer Fyodor Chaliapin. The project is based on fairy tales and stories that were written down by Chaliapin's daughter, Dasia Chaliapina. Mysterious images and complex relationships between father and daughter became the basis of the work.
In collaboration with Katarina Sokolovskaya
