Artem Trofimenko will present two short films which were developed on residency in Pedvāle Art Park Latvia, supported by Sample-Studios’ Studios of Sanctuary programme, /f/XILE – a body between shores and A Ladder on the Edge of Living.
Sitting between diary, ritual, and cinematic apparition, the works trace how personal and collective histories surface through material processes. Emerging from a site-responsive exploration at Pedvāle Art Park, Latvia, A Ladder on the Edge of Living is shaped by folk memory, moving between the haunted logic of Viy and the drifting consciousness of Solaris. /f/XILE is a somatic exploration of the SIRIUS building and its surrounding waters. A body moves along a narrow threshold between land and tide; filmed on expired stock, image and sound fracture time. The work treats exile as a condition of encounter, produced through physical tension.
