48 Stunden Neukölln Festival, Berlin, 2024
In June 2024, Vladimir Kordiukov participated in the 48 Stunden Neukölln festival in Berlin with Voiced Silence. Collage Storytelling. The project was presented at Café Square in Neukölln on 29 and 30 June as part of the festival programme dedicated to the theme Urban Silence.
In the project "Voiced Silence," the city plays a pivotal role as an integral backdrop for Vladimir Kordiukov's collage narratives and artifacts steeped in silence. The city becomes not merely a background for unfolding events, but rather a stage where life with its sounds and emotions converges, leaving behind only an echo - the silence that speaks of the past.
Collage storytelling is a creative process that involves gathering and arranging diverse visual elements to convey emotionally rich narratives. Vladimir Kordiukov employs this method to craft new narratives or reinterpret existing ones, doing so visually persuasively and poignantly. Within Kordiukov's collages, the city becomes not only an environment for stories but an active participant in the project. Each collage resonates with urban life, from snippets of newspaper headlines to fragments of street scenes. These elements serve as reminders that every object, no matter how small, carries its own history intertwined with the rhythms of urban hustle and bustle.
Ultimately, "Voiced Silence" transcends being a mere collection of silent moments in life; it immerses viewers in the essence of urban culture and its continuous flow of life through the lens of visual art and collage storytelling.
