Schiz

Photographed by Sergey Skip.

Inspired by expressionism, this project delves into suppressed, painful states of the psyche, using butoh dance to depict anxiety, paranoia, and entrapment. The photographs are based on Valentin Tszin’s “Schizzz” performance at ACUD Theater, Berlin.

Wish You Were Here at TICK TACK in Antwerp unfolds as an exhibition that begins from the very first look while on the street and lingers like a tormented presence long after leaving the space. Curated by Maria Abramenko, the show weaves personal loss and collective anxiety into a dense, haunted narrative where fire, sound and spectral images become carriers of memory. Open until 21 March 2026, it invites the viewer into an experience that is less about passive looking and more about actively inhabiting grief.
