The work is a story of a self-exile from the home world, that undergoes a process of Unworlding. The video explores one woman's desire to escape the not-yet-dismantled patriarchal order of her native lands. Later developing into a suspicion that she was sent to the moon for her not to disturb the patriarchy. The work looks at exile, hope, utopic dreams, communal rituals of care as equipment for the journey into the unknown.
(This work takes Valentina Tereshkova's image and experience outside of the context of her current political views.)
