Endless Story of Disease
As we were happily preparing for the festival, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began and caused us to reflect on whether what we do makes sense in the new situation. It soon transpired that one of the axes of Putin’s war propaganda was deep contempt for democratic society, a lack of respect for minorities, a patriarchal social model, and callous hatred for the Other. The aggressor marches hand in hand with religious fundamentalism, and we are aware that this the case also beyond Russia. Endless Story of Disease comprises selected works of Ukrainian queer artist AntiGonna, the pioneer of post-pornographic art in Ukraine and winner of the prestigious Pinchuk Award (2020). AntiGonna’s films explore topics of violence, patriarchy, feminism, rape, and war. The artist’s consistent use of a rough and grimy film language is certainly worth exploring and becoming immersed in, and, in comparison with other films at the festival, proves once again the wide range of contemporary postpornography. The English description of the projects (or the lack of them) is the artist’s intention and is part of the project.
Rave on the Bones
2017 At the same time, when the war continues in Ukraine till today, also the raves continue. Raves on the bones.
The Bloodsucker and The Slut
2017 In the toilet of the nightclub lived two best friends Bloodsucker and the Slut. They didn’t expect anyone there, but for some reason a new victim always comes to them.
Gonjure Grandmother, Conjure Grandfather!
2016 The performance was the beginning of a new stage of work and life of AntiGonna. The first part is the confession and sacrifice of the artist herself, which is dedicated to the snakes, to Jesus and Judas. The second part is the birth of a new and murderous power of sex, dedicated to all gallery owners and art historians in Ukraine.

Kissing the eye
2019 Kissing the eye. Lesbian sex drama and fantastic utopia of feelings which show the complex, auto-aggressive attitude of the heroines to themselves and to their love, passion for sex and human relationships. One of the main misfortunes of the characters is the myth of love. It is a short story about two lost girls who accidentally meet each other in the streets. After some nice time spent together they realise that they dream of becoming lovers with a desire to create violent snuff-video-shooting. Finally time comes to the point of no return where one of them have to pay a big price for her freedom and the second one can observe how her love turns into hate with kissing in the eye
