IRA EDUARDOVNA (US/RU): THE ROOM [00:48 min, 2007]

A spread of a rectangle hotel room is presented. A female figure (myself) draws an outline on the floor. The action is shot in five times, every time from a different angle that correlates with the spread.

This repetition of the same “choreography” creates slight changes that are almost invisible, yet the time factor influences the experience and the action becomes automatic and irrational.

The window at the back shows a scenery view from a train ride which transforms the hotel room into a train cart. Eventually the female figure stands in the middle of a room and her shadow matches the outline form that is drawn on the floor.
