Double Life by Olga Kisseleva
Artist Olga Kisseleva creates her work in the same way as a scientist would approach their work in biology, geophysics or social science. She observes life and society, then follows a scientific process as she carefully detects a discrepancy, formulates her hypothesis and finds a solution. It is these solutions which are presented as films in her new project Double Life, created in collaboration with the Sorbonne‘s Laboratory of sociology and social sciences. The project seeks to understand and define the connection and relationship between a higher intellectualism and social status. She asks the question – ‘Does our society really need artists and intellectuals?’ Olga Kisseleva invites young artists to become co-author of one episode of the project Double Life, whose main characters combine creative activities with “money-making” professions in everyday life. Each new episode of the project is a video-diptych consisting of a documentary material of the protagonist's life and an artistic endeavor, conceived by the co-author. The first phase of the project is a discussion, which will be followed by the formation of an artistic group of the project's new co-authors.
