ONLY LOVE WILL SAVE US
2022




Medium: Immersive Physical Installation, Projection

Collaboration with Mary Mark, Dror Margalit
Music by Florence Ghys
 Today, people across the world continue to fight for basic human rights. Brave individuals lead and inspire protest movements, in many cases risking their freedom and lives for speaking out. “Only Love Will Save Us” is an immersive video installation that tells the story of Maria Kalesnikava, one of the three women who, in the summer of 2020, led the protest movement against longtime Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko after he rigged the presidential election in his favor.

This piece is a tribute to Maria and other political prisoners who sacrificed their freedom to retain their voice and stand up to dictatorships. Shortly after the elections in Belarus, Maria was unjustly imprisoned and is now serving an 11-year sentence. In this interactive installation, one person needs to temporarily ‘sacrifice’ their freedom to amplify and tell Maria’s story.
