TURA!

Tura sits on the floor of her New York apartment, sifting through old photographs. Her gaze lingers on a childhood picture — a little girl in a bright dress stands before the gray facade of a panel apartment building. This image becomes the starting point for a lifelong journey. The 2025 documentary by director Alisa Ivanova is not merely a biography of the artist, but an exploration of memory, identity, and the creative quest. The camera follows Tura from American galleries to the post-Soviet cities of her youth, where every corner holds echoes of the past. The viewer witnesses her work on a new installation where personal history intertwines with the collective. The film asks what it means to be oneself when one's life is divided between continents and cultures.
