Deconstructivism at Mindblowers 2023: Sitting in a box. The world moves.

Deconstructivism is a research project based on propaganda, initiated by Igor Shyshko, as a direct response to the Ukraine war. Himself a native Belarus citizen, living in Brussels for more than 25 years, his involvement in the political upheaval is both engaged and distant. Caught between family alliances and ethical concerns, Igor opens up a place for meeting and reflection.

At this phase of the research, Igor occupies "The box" for a duration of 12h during Het TheaterFestival in quest of understanding the world we live in but also the space that is left for movement and agency.
The video was then used as part of the presentation of the work during Mindblowers 2023.
