Godovannaya's audio-visual productions explore themes of landscape, queerness, migration, auto\ethnography, and the everyday. Approaching art production through artistic research and collective action, Godovannaya's work predominantly consists of hybrid films in which hand-developed 16 mm material converges with digital video. Her documentary method incorporates sensual aesthetics, experimental cinema, queer relationality, and embodied ethics.
The exhibition echoes different moments from the artist’s transnational existence in a poetic, dreamy, ghostly, and realist way and reflects on the topics of love, motherhood, activism, collectivity, and the hauntedness of urban spaces and landscapes. Alongside Godovannaya's solo works, the show presents video and photo documentations and artifacts of the queer-feminist affinity art group “Unwanted Organisation” that she co-founded in 2015 in St. Petersburg (Russia).
