overview
safe haven is a video essay series by kirill semenovich that looks at personal spaces we carry inside—places that feel familiar, nostalgic, or made-up, built from bits of memory and feeling. it’s about how we keep coming back to these moments in our heads, digging into what they’re made of through visuals, sound, and digital glitches.
concept
the series is about those private, abstract places we all have—ones that aren’t tied to real locations but still hit hard emotionally. it focuses on the way we loop back to certain memories or feelings, using visuals, sound, and digital distortion to show what’s going on beneath the surface. safe haven pulls viewers into these inner worlds and the fragmented way we remember things.
format
the project includes 20 short, looping videos. there’s no talking or text—just sound and music to set the mood. digital glitches are used like brushstrokes, adding texture and rhythm to create a raw, emotional vibe in the digital space.
• 20 video works • loop-based structure • no text or dialogue, only sound and image experience • focus on memory, glitch, and emotional space • digital glitch as a painterly gesture
