“How funny that everything is so untrue”

Video duration 5:32 minutes

Video art on how laughter is embedded in feminist practice and theory as a means of self-identification and self-representation. The work was completed with an essay "The phenomenon of laughter in feminist theory" – graduation project at the Faculty of Contemporary Art in the "Sreda Obucheniya"

Laughter as action became the subject of Maria's research. In her thought experiment, she put it in the place of anger as fuel for the manifestation of feminist ideas. Laughter is a feeling that generates self-sufficiency, even if laughter only sounds inside. It is a way of marking a position from a state of confidence, not a victim.
