Survivor's Syndrom Symphony | Audio-visual installation |
Survivor Syndrome Symphony is a multimedia album-installation created by Ukrainian composer and video artist Hanna Aleksieieva under her ongoing project Dreamdrift. The album was created at WORM, a Rotterdam-based non-profit foundation and multimedia cultural center. This collaboration became possible thanks to the support from the Dutch government, which is providing grants for Ukrainian artists.
As an album-installation, the Survivors Syndrome is tailored to be shown in the absence of the author. The name of the album speaks for itself, as nowadays each Ukrainian who is safe from the war is actually a survivor struggling with understanding their place in the world. For Hanna, this work is an attempt to respond to all “How are you?” she hears from her EU friends. Sometimes it is impossible to answer a simple question with mere words. But it becomes possible with a symphony. Survivor Syndrome provides various answers.
