“We Dance in the Shadows and Are Reborn in the Fire” expands the boundaries of Belarusian identity, channeling the tension between light and dark, dominance and submission.

In BDSM practice, for a dominant, the combination of power with care and kindness is fundamental—only together they create true strength. This idea lies at the core of the installation: through movement, sound, and intense visual elements, the artist evokes a moment of transformation, where embracing one’s dark, dominant nature becomes an act of liberation. The artist proposes new symbols of Belarusian identity—to be bad.
