"Brother & Sister” is one of the large narrative projects by Viktoria Sorochinski, shot with an analog camera and portraying the interpersonal brother-sister relationships and their journey into adulthood. Deeply inspired by myths, folk tales, beliefs, and psychoanalytical research, Viktoria Sorochinski is capturing in her carefully orchestrated scenes the world of children’s fantasies, fears, and lessons that we all go through while growing up.
Viktoria Sorochinski shot the “Brother & Sister” project in Norway during an art residency on the island of Halsnoy in 2015, in a house that used to belong to a medieval monastery, and where the story unfolds. “House” is a symbol that represents the foundation of our inner self in the Jungian psychoanalysis, therefore it is the starting point of the magical journey of little Martha and Mathias, a sister and a brother whom Viktoria Sorochinski encountered on the island. From this house, shrouded in mystery, legends and popular beliefs, the two children explore the surroundings, the woods, the unknown… They get to know each other and themselves, and team up against the evil forces.
