The project brings together photographic works by Andy Go, paintings by Anna Kiparis, and a scent conceived by Alexandra Dolgosheina.


This collaborative work extends Anna Kiparis’s ongoing exploration of female figures within biblical narratives, particularly those positioned at the intersection of sanctity, myth, and transgression. In parallel, it resonates with Andy Go’s new series of red-toned photographic works, as well as Alexandra Dolgosheina’s research in olfactory art. Together, the three artists operate within a shared conceptual and chromatic field, developing a unified sensibility where image, body, and scent function as interdependent layers of perception.


The project emerges as a small-scale, tightly composed presentation consisting of 5–7 photographic works and an equal number of painted works. Rather than illustrating a narrative, the works unfold as variations on a single thematic space—one that investigates the construction of female archetypes through visual and sensory languages and the emotional residue embedded in them.


The exhibition is conceived specifically for a church space, where architectural and symbolic resonance are integral to the work. Within this setting, the dialogue between sacred structure and contemporary artistic interpretation heightens the tension between history, ritual, and reinterpretation.


The exhibition's opening is envisioned as a fully immersive experience. It will be accompanied by a specially developed “Babylon scent” — an olfactory composition evoking a sense of collapse, excess, and an apocalyptic atmosphere, unfolding through layered notes that distort perceptions of space and presence.


In addition, the opening will include a live performance by Anna Kiparis and Alexandra Dolgosheina, who will re-enact the dance associated with the Babylonian Whore from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927). Performed as a duo, the choreography emphasises the duality of the figure — purity and seduction, control and surrender, human and artificial — splitting the archetype into two embodied perspectives that mirror and destabilise each other within the sacred architectural environment.
