TAROT OF CHANGE

2020-2021, 15 min video

An audio essay that approaches and somehow lives through the topic of change, as an alternative to the concept of utopia. The oracle reading was performed to make sense of the times of emergency and political uproar in Poland, amid the protest for reproductive rights and against the tightening of the abortion law. The thoughts flow from sci-fi narratives, through panic attacks, to post-socialist anthropology. Electronic music and poetic text weave together into a non-linear journey through dark corners in search of hope and help. The work is dedicated to activists of the Women's Strike of Poland, a feminist grassroots uprising of 2020. Strangely, every card chosen for this reading talks about embracing change.

The sound was originally commissioned and presented as a radio work by Radio Kapital and Komuna Warszawa.

The video was commissioned by the Cafe Adele / Echo Raume Project.
