Performance In The Abandoned Evangelical Church

Today I found two strange video, that I made for my friends from Madrid in 2013. I guess you can call it video art. In fact it's performance that was captured.

A girl tried to explain me the essence of her performance somehow. She said that every place (space) has a special power. She tries to transmit this energy, her feeling of space through body movements and voice. Her body and voice performs the role of a mediator. It all seemed like some of the methods that psychologists use in the dance movement therapy and actors during actors' training. It looks very strange action for most part of viewers and complete surprise them as I noticed.

Her boyfriend, sound engineer, recorded sound during this perfomance and then he made sound tracks for the video that I filmed for them. Shot on a DSLR camera static shots in very low light.

They chose really interesting places . Both videos were made on Madeira. First clip was recorded at underground grotto of volcanic origin. She spent twenty minutes in the icy water. The second video was made in the abandoned Evangelical Church.

Trip across Greece 2015

3 min. video of my working trip across Greece in May 2015. What is the true reason of crisis in Greece now? Corruption and bad management in the country? Or it is a "defect" of EU management in general? Просто немного Греции.

Beauty And the Melancholy Of Vietnam

This video was made by me two years ago. My friends-videographers were filmed various interesting footages during a trip to Vietnam with two cameras: Mark II and Go Pro. Here I used just standard Adobe Premiere tools for video editing and colour correction.

Now I would be happy to be on the other side of this video ...

Everything Is Just a Dream


The Buddhists say that life is a collective dream, an illusion, a mirage, Maya. Reality does not exist. I am just your dream, and you are just mine. Everything that happens to us is part of the dream, and only few people will wake up and understand that it was all a dream...

Muslims and Oil in Russia

This post is dedicated to Islam in Russia. Firstly, because I realized that not so many foreigners know that there are large Muslim regions in Russia. As well as a there are regions where most people are Buddhists or shamanists.

This town called Leninogorsk, which means literally - Lenin Hills. People call this place "oil town". It was built 60 years ago, because geologists have discovered large reserves of oil here. Oil pumps are everywhere in this region. Actually, it's a good object for meditation. These machines are continuously doing slow movements - up and down.

American Catholic Priest in the Russian Far East

There is the Roman Catholic Church in Magadan. I went there with my colleagues - two German filmmakers. It was cold and snowing. The church was not open. We knocked on the door.


Fifty years old man in a gray robe with a hood met us. The front of his robe was embroidered red cross. It was not even a cross, but rather a hybrid of two symbols - the cross and heart. He spoke to us in English with a clean American accent. Father Michael Shields originally from Alaska. He lives in Magadan for twenty years already.
