➖ Chimeras from between wind turbines, 2023

➖ Chimeras from between wind turbines is a chapter of the performative project Motus with a multidimensional output. We are creating a science-fiction film about the collective perception of climate change from the skin's point of view. The project brings together a collective of local performers to explore the topic together in performance. During this period, a series of objects, costumes, photography and film were created.

➖ Motus is a collaboration between the Nephro Studio collective, Evelyn Benčičová and the Kunterakt project. We are a group of artists, performers, designers, musicians and everything we want and can become. We work with temporary performers, which we look for locally and thus create hybrid collectives. In a constantly changing grouping, we realize performances, the outputs of which later become records in the form of exhibitions, films, paintings and objects.

📆 6 - 10 December 2023 will take place at 2 venues: the Prior OD on Kamenné námestie and the Bratislava City Gallery

some details from - Darwin was my first crush:
“Some transanimals prepare for the future by gathering resources, praying to various gods of nature or developing gadgets and technological marvels to withstand the changing climate. They adapt to their surroundings, becoming parts
of it. They cannot be taken away from their surroundings for observation, as they would begin adapting to the new surroundings. They all are part of the huge ecosystem, they cocreate it and are responsible for it. “ - piece performed at , 📸 by Performers .bastuga

NEPHRO STUDIO •.• presents MAN OF STONE

Nephro studio is an art collective currently functioning as a platform for performers and fine artists from various different environments, and the foundation of their output is interdisciplinary co-operation. Their core themes include the depiction of nature and human physicality and their digital post-production, in order to create poetic compositions, sometimes even with a touch of surrealism, which are played out on the boundary of the natural and the virtual. Their works are inhabited by bodies, characters and objects that operate as narrators of associative visual stories.

Under the auspices of Bukolika, Nephro will orchestrate a performative installation titled:

•.• Man of Stone •.•

once a man of stone
whose veins burst with minerals
whose feet grow so heavy
a mindcontrol piledriver cant move him
now a man of wings,
flying too close to gravel
a star fallen, burns to dust
a meteorite rises
