Chance encounter with the residents of Baratashvili bridge, who are transforming a very public traffic node into an art space.

The short film is about a girl that breaks her glases and has to rush to her oral exam. She is trying to find her way to the exam room, while dealing with low vision. Along the way she notices a lot of improvable spots in the building.

The film explores where the boundaries of inclusive design are and how they can be further extended by setting pre-determined barriers. The project fictionalises the story of a traveler without knees and how he lives in a modern city. In the process of social discipline, it is a necessary thing to deconstruct the single-mindedness and wishful thinking of the designers in a playful way. In the process of making the film, I tried to identify similarities in the symbolic forms of everyday life and intertwined them with ''poor images'' to examine the tiny narratives of fragmentation and chatter from the position of a spectator.

There was no public space to gather and form a community for the alternative youth, marginalized communities, and those who enjoy arts and crafts. Salaam cinema opened its doors to different communities and started its activity with movie screenings. The space got so much attention from youth and in return, from its owner as well. To a point, the owner claimed to destroy the building which is a historical Molokan worship house and said that he plans to build a mall instead of it. The community around Salaam liked the space so much and slowly it was turning into their “home”. And when someone tried to demolish the community and the “home” they newly brought back to life, young people started to resist keeping the space for its further use. Weeks of resistance happened where at some point people physically fought against the owner and carried out a sitting protest not to leave the space. Eventually, with the support of urban activists and the community, the resistance won and Salaam could survive! Now the space hosts many arts and entertainment events and it is a safe space for different marginalized communities. For many, there is a strong feeling of community around Salaam and since its start, the building has been flourishing and getting bigger!

This short documentary intends to investigate the eye of the "outsiders" of the city, particularly those, as the hostel guests, who live the city only for a short period of time. This temporarity however, and outer perspective allow them to provide important considerations about the city as well as on how inclusive design could be interpreted, hence improved.

The relationships change in a house while the wifi is disconnected.

How many things can we do on a swing? Having fun, Relaxing, resting, laughing, meeting people, reading, admiring the landscape, moving, playing, feeling like a child, ... The Swings are free, accessible and inclusive for everyone. Is possible to found the swings all over the World in different shapes, colours and sizes, surrounded by the natural sounds of the nature. In this film i mix together some of my videos made traveling with my mother (75 years old) while we go on the swings of my favourite cities.

Metropolis is often used as a broad term, and sometimes boring. Perhaps we have neglected that the build-up of a bona fide city is always gradual, progressive and partial. The fact that it is indeed more intriguing can always be found in the inconspicuous corners, and in each corner there resides a bunch of hidden stories vividly shining concurrently. In Hong Kong, the outlying islands are the hidden gems. Many of us cannot even imagine how resilient and inclusive this city is until we see the living evidence. It may surprise some if we take some daily snapshots at the same time, the diverse timelines are manifested - fIshermen, jossmen, villagers, artists, swimmers, hawkers, and visitors… their journeys being also the crucial parts of the city coexisting with the traders and bankers sitting inside the skyscrapers. If we spread those moments on live, we then have a series of overlapping histories in pixelated form being a rich and flavorful color palette that composes the pearl of the Orient. This video aims to capture the metropolitan cinematics in different interpretations to retrieve the hidden historical scatters from the unique stories and cultural legacy behind the often-forgotten islands - that to have witnessed our once significant transformation from a fisherman village to the international city. By cutting from an angle of the current lifestyle alternatives we aspire to impress the audience by showcasing the contrast to our usual understanding of a “metropolis” and “socio-economic development need”. The visual narratives on the living habits, interactions, struggles and growth of the people around passively respond to how we chose to battle with the “prescribed” ways of living then in turn reminiscing us about the genuine comprehensive story of Hong Kong.

A video-essay: Biomimicry acts as an undisputed guiding thread in many design and creation processes and creates a certain harmony between built and grown environments through its basis, consisting of the sophisticated shaping of nature. But why only imitate the forms of our living environment when we can also take the functioning of cross-global communication, which fauna and flora have refined for millions of years, as a model to transform our social coexistence into a living together and for each other?

Our short film investigates matters of urban spaces and their perception and critically approaches their potential for the adaptation of new residents. The particular potential of becoming a new or a second home to each individual. How easy is it to achieve this effect, and how can we measure this city's quality? Can the urban landscape define notions of home, and what properties of the city's spatial organization can create a homelike atmosphere? The notion of home is very personal to everyone, it is hard to quantify, but the concept is united by a strong shared sense of values. Home means a friendly place, a comfortable one, accessible and open. Such a perception can contribute to the natural development of both young people and adults. This story is about two friends who recently moved from their native Kyiv to Berlin and Warsaw and faced the need of adaptation to the new context, both cultural and urban. We reflected on the process of interaction with the new urban environment, up to the point where the new city and its architectural landscape started to shape the sense of a home.
