About the director

Among the contemporary artists who became filmmakers, Ihor Podolchakis a figure odious. Unlike Matthew Barney and Marina Abramović he does not balance on the verge of conceptual video art but he is engaged in cinematography in its pure form. At the same time, Podolchak's films are much closer to experimental cinema than those films that are shot by other contemporary artists.
