Anna Pichura, 2017, video
The video relates to the history and presence of a family home in Świętokrzyskie, Poland. Balancing between documentation and fiction, the work recalls the public and private history of the place and its inhabitants while it arranges motifs of a ludic religious cult, the changes of seasons, and the home as a place where organisms other than humans lead their quiet life.
The title D.O.M. is a pun on the polish word 'dom’ meaning 'home’ and on the acronym of two latin sentences - D(eo) O(ptimo) M(aximo) - "to God, most good, most great” oraz D(omus) O(mnium) M(ortuorum) - "home of the dead".
