Digital photographs
The series engages with red-and-white safety tape as it shifts from a temporary marker into a persistent element of the urban environment. Appearing on fences, poles, and facades, it redirects movement and establishes a continuous state of warning.
The photographic series combines observational and performative images. The tape first appears in space and then on the body, translating a spatial signal into a physical and emotional condition. Warning becomes ambient: the threat is not always visible, yet it structures movement and perception.
The series unfolds in two parts, where the state of the environment and the bodily response shift and continue one another.
The title borrows a mnemonic phrase from Russian language learning that lists irregular verbs. Retained in transliteration, it functions as a sequence of actions and states, structuring the reading of the series.
