His works often explore the ways in which new media transform our relationships with each other and the world around us, and his performances blur the lines between reality and fiction. 375 0908 2334 / the body you are calling is currently not available is a response to the harassment of protesters in Belarus. Citizens have protested against the rigged presidential election in August 2020. Nearly 40,000 protesters have been detained and abused for “disobedience”. The appalling violence continues to this day. In his performance, Shugaleev opens a window to the horrific reality of the demonstrators’ conditions. It’s a desperate cry for help and a plea for global awareness of the atrocities committed by the Belarusian government. The performance grew out of the idea of resisting long-term stress, dealing with fear and anxiety, and overcoming feelings of guilt. Shugaleev creates a fairly simple way of communicating with the public: he identifies with the detainees, “simulates” the physical torture and transforms a unanimous person into a living, physical presence.
