MOLDAKUL is a tribute to the renowned Kazakh artist Moldakul Narymbetov (1948–2012). The looping video shows the protagonist trapped in a kind of a bad dream where she keeps searching for her missing friend in dark corridors. With a characteristic mixture of sincerity and subtle self-irony, the video is charged with meanings, ranging from personal grief for the departed spiritual mentor to the general feeling of abandonment and orphanhood shared by many contemporary artists in Kazakhstan.
