"The culmination of the story was a tribute, composed from archives of various Central Asian artists from the early 2000s. I cut it together from 100 of hours of performance footage, carefully crafting a rhythm where each action rhymed with the next turning it into a single, cohesive narrative. The project was shot on 4-perf 35mm Kodak film as a statement in support of analog craftsmanship." - Konstantin Syromyatnikov, editor
