Our Father
2004, Russia, Kaliningrad
4’50’’

Based on a performance with a deaf man reciting the most important prayer of the Christian world - “Our Father”. The prayer is read slowly with the help of the international sigh language. The re-coded prayer suggests to the audience perception the author’s meditation on the complex and equivocal man-God relationship.
