YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME
2021


‘You don’t understand me’ is a short video of myself saying that you don’t understand me in Ukrainian. It is intended for a particular audience – those, who do not understand this particular language. Yet even in a language understood by both performer and the audience, these phrases raise a question of whether we are capable of truly understanding one another. With the current russian-Ukrainian war it brings an additional meaning.

Translation:

You don’t understand me
I understand that you don’t understand me

I’m conscious of you not understanding me, I’m just vocalizing what is on your mind
