Continuing an idea initiated together with semisilent.ro, ASCR, and Q-O2, Kravets will invite a limited number of people to a basement / shelter environment where the perception of time and experience can shift, opening up a transition zone in which to explore what a feeling of danger and emergency can do to our bodies. Which types of practical and emotional reactions and responsibilities are evoked, and what can participation and sharing add to such experiences? How might one begin to translate the feeling of war to people abroad, to share the imperceptibility of the war experience and how discordant it is with life beyond its borders?
Having experienced her own habitual reference system fall apart, together with the hopes that the full-scale war would not actually break out in Ukraine, Kravets aims to work towards an emotional encyclopedia in order to try to interact through the locus of strong emotional experience or emotional emergency.
The Radio Lab is a project by Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Hörspiel / Klangkunst and CTM Festival in collaboration with Goethe-Institut, ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst, Ö1 Kunstradio, and The Wire magazine.
The idea for »An Emotional Encyclopedia of War« was initiated together with semisilent.ro, ASCR, and Q-O2.
