Internal Affairs Archive

The project attempts to explore the self as a space where multiple internal figures coexist. The core idea of the work is that our «self» is not a singular, unified entity; rather, it is composed of different parts, each possessing its own logic and modes of interacting with the world.

All characters in the project are self-portraits. Each image was created through costume, makeup, body posture, and interaction with the space of a single apartment, which serves as a metaphor for the internal structure of the psyche—a place where various aspects of the personality are forced to coexist. These figures begin to overlap, conflict, influence one another, and occupy a shared space. These images do not tell a linear story, nor do they offer a single, definitive interpretation. They capture the state of simultaneous presence of numerous inner voices.
