Without You, Without Me

For those exiled remembering is a difficult process as Adèle Shaykhulova knows, who had to leave her home of Russia as a child. Shaykhulova’s exemplifies how this essential process is transformed through contemporary technologies as her connection to her home depends on old videos and recorded Skype calls. Confronted with her cousin’s cancer diagnosis, these relics amess invaluable weight. SANS VOUS, SANS MOI negotiates closeness and distance via Instagram, video-chats, and instant messages, concluding that neither is permitted through the constraints of the mediums.
