Oirotia

art project
nomadic country
According to the project's mythology, Oirotia was born in the Altai Mountains and set out on a journey across the world, gradually developing its own traditions. As the culture evolved, it absorbed the stories, myths, and experiences of those who joined it along the way.

Oirotia is an alternative reality in which the viewer witnesses the formation of belief in real time. It is a place where anyone can invent a god, and every god matters.

It is a place where care for nature, conscious consumption, scientific inquiry, technological development, and the exploration of consciousness are equally valued.
The installation included a 3 × 3 metre yurt, a ceremonial fire pit, sculptures of forest deities, a series of magical dolls and ritual objects displayed inside the yurt, a rope stage filled with smoke, and an immersive performance featuring a live shaman.

Nomadic Protocol
Since 2025, I have been developing an artistic and research project called Nomadic Protocol.
It is a nomadic culture without a fixed location. People move between places, gather in different regions, create projects together, exchange knowledge, and develop new traditions.
