Evgeniya Sterlyagova about the artwork:

“During the period of restrictions on mobility, two artists have a sensual and tactile dialogue without words, using short videos on Instagram stories. The ritual of exchanging of these short but important experiences becomes almost daily, and Instagram is a kind of new "communication pipeline".

During the pandemic in isolation, we all felt a lack of tactile sensations and experiences and an overload of information, conferences, images, sounds, advertising. Glitch destroys obsessive images, while tactile experiences often require silence and detachment.

This dialogue is similar to non-verbal communication, visual writing, filled with the illusion of conveying sensations".
