Orchidelirium. Shelter

Original title: Orhideliirium. Varjupaik

2022 | Other categories, Experimental | Director: Kristina Norman

A zoo employee is suddenly trapped behind bars and challenges visitors who mistake him for an animal.

Combining choreographic performance with documentary footage, the film offers a commentary on colonial legacies. The film is set in a post-Soviet zoo environment and the performer embodies a female zoo worker accidentally locked in a cage and transformed into a wild animal. Paying intense attention to the passing of time, the film follows the stages of her metamorphosis. In this process, the erotic tension becomes a tool of resistance to the visitors’ gaze, challenging the hierarchy of perspectives.
