She graduated from the Kharkiv Academy of Design and Arts, and she now works in Moscow as a painter and film artist. In her films, Begalskaya makes a parody of familiar situations taken from daily life in Russia and Ukraine. Creating mocking, folkloric montages, she provides the viewer with a pitiless perspective on what social reality looks like in the Post-Soviet Era. In 2014, she founded Teresa Creative Union of Sex-Workers and Artists, a joint project in partnership with streetwalkers from Saint Petersburg. Together they developed a puppet theatre using cardboard cut-out figures, paintings and objects, where encounters between sex workers and their clients are staged, given a shape in which the tragedy of the theme always hovers between the moral and the cheerfully debauched.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVictoria Begalskaya\u003c/strong\u003e (\u0026deg;1965) is afkomstig uit Dnepropetrovsk in Oekra\u0026iuml;ne waar ze afstudeert aan de Academie voor Kunst en Design in Kharkov.

Samen ontwikkelen ze een poppentheater met kartonnen figuren, schilderijen en objecten, waarin de ervaringen tussen de sekswerkers en hun cli\u0026euml;nten op sc\u0026egrave;ne worden gezet, vormgeving waardoor de tragiek van het thema steeds tussen moraliteit en vrolijke losbandigheid balanceert. De melancholie die erin vervat zit maakt de harde realiteit bijna aanvaardbaar. De video is geen activistisch protest tegen de mannelijke dominantie, maar veeleer een \u0026ldquo;ernstige\u0026rdquo; parodie die gezien kan worden als een kritiek op deze kritiek. De video getuigt van lef en van trots, en toont aan dat de opgevoerde prostituees de controle over hun bestaan duidelijk niet verloren zijn.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"UA","place":"Dnipro","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}},{"country":"RU","place":"Moscow","category":{"en":"Works in","nl":"Werkt in ","fr":"Travaille à"}}]}
