The House That Slowly Collapses(2025)
Summary
“The House That Slowly Collapses” is a short experimental film that deconstructs the idea of history as a linear sequence, where each new iteration must necessarily be better than the previous one, and ruins must be eradicated.
It reverses human progress and, instead of rushing forward, goes further into the past, visiting the sites of our failures, overlaying the fragments they generate. It creates a new elliptical model of time, where past and future can collide and coexist.

About Alisa Kutensko
Alisa Kutsenko is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher with a background in architecture.
Rooted in architectural thinking, her practice is system-based and site-specific. Working through film, installation, and narrative-based work, she is interested in the subjective and speculative constructs of past, present, and future. Through the deconstruction and recomposition of space and memory, she challenges dominant narratives and rigid cultural grids, proposing alternative systems of world-building. Rather than chaos, her work explores ruins and fractures as a generative force for reimagining and accepting our past.
This interest is grounded in the earlier investigations of how space is perceived across multiple species. These explorations created worlds where the subjective spatial constructs of animals, plants, and humans merge into a composite whole that appears other than its parts, yet is composed of nothing beyond them.
