Project #badbedtimestories is developed and created during lockdown 2020-2021.  It consists of 12 oil paintings,  each accompanied with an autobiographical text by the artist, and an installation. Texts are personal stories, showing connections between private and public fields, touching upon such topics as mobility, invisible and unpaid reproductive labor, and property in post-soviet and western countries,  in feministic discourse. During lockdown 2020-2021 artist was creating one work per month and exhibiting it on social media. In this way, each story is related to certain time of the year,  reconnecting with the tradition of live storytelling. During lockdowns live communication and social events were replaced with online meetings and social media newsfeed, so artist chose these platforms to tell her story..  Images in this project are kind of symbols and cultural codes that can be read differently, with or without the text. Stories behind the pictures connect different people, countries and times, being at the same time both very personal - and something to what many can relate.
