The water level is rising. Emotions are detaching from both the past and future, and floating to the surface. Sink or glide through the new depths – things will never be the same again.
Experimental artistic film looking at the ‘Epoch of the Absent Father’ in relation to the ‘Crisis of Masculinity’ and the effect on men individually and collectively. Using found footage from interviews with men suffering from mental health issues combined with my own footage and sound.

‘Quiddity‘
2022 8 minutes
Quiddity is a new photographic series by artist Artem Trofimenko. The work investigates relationships, intimate as well as ones relationship with the symbolic world. It takes place within several instances of close collaboration where the boundary between the dream world of the subjects is thin. In collaboration with a sound artist Chloe Tetrault, Quiddity was developed into audio/visual performance.
