Denis Chuzhoy: “My second stand-up concert was called “Jokes about Death” for a long time, but closer to the shooting it became clear that it was more about family. So it ended up with a less offensive title. But more truthful. After all, stand-up is when truth and harshness, as they say in the project "Women's stand-up". Our childhood traumas remain with us forever. And you can live with them. Even write almost 50 minutes of jokes about them."

This piece was designed as an installation piece for projection as a 60-minute loop in gallery spaces. Deanimated is literally displaced from the theater environment typical of film spectatorship, slightly blurring the boundaries between the spaces of projection and reception. "Deanimated: The Invisible Ghost," is based on the 1941 horror film "The Invisible Ghost" with the lead actors Bela Lugosi, Polly Ann Young, and John McGuire. In "Deanimated" the actors are gradually eliminated and thus the narrative loses its coherence. What remains are backgrounds, erratic camera movements that seem to move without focus throughout the room, capturing ghostly changes in light and shadows. In this project, Arnold asks fundamental philosophical questions about human existence and presence in absence. Although the actors are missing, they leave behind traces (such as smashing bullets together, dust stirring up …) and are experienced precisely in their absence as a ghostly, unreal present.
