WORLD WORRY WEB by Nadiia Pliamko | Estonia (2024)
A member of the network generation begins his freelancing day with the “elephant” in the room, but is unable to complete tasks, ignoring another circumstance – he is connected to the outside world by material connections. And the perception of the world now occurs directly through his subconscious. Such exposure to the nervous system entails new risks of the consequences of merging with society via the Internet.
Director Statement
I bring complex ideas discussed within the walls of galleries to a wide range of viewers. It is important for me to use the charm of symbolism and aesthetic design to present uncomfortable topics, the awareness of which returns responsibility and choice to a busy person. I propose to analyze the problems of the modern world through the tools of mythology.

Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved. Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
