Psychohistorical Journey No. 4: Antarctica, Drift, Timecode, and Schizoanalysis

On 29 June 2025, at 13:00 Kyiv time, three groups started a synchronised psychohistorical journey in different cities: in Kyiv (Pushcha-Vodytsia) with Teta Tsybulnyk, in Berlin (Mittelheide) with Harri Kraievets, and in Reading, UK (Lousehill Copse) with Pavlo Kerestey.

While each group pursued its own form of research, they all operated as a whole. At 15:55 Kyiv time (14:55 in Berlin and 13:55 in London), the groups were connected by a shared choral gesture — singing simultaneously from a pre-written score.

The impossible meeting between the three groups was made possible by the “Scattered Communities” program, implemented by Insha Osvita and Asortymentna Kimnata, supported by Robert Bosch Stiftung.

The group in Kyiv explored the unconscious of Pushcha-Vodytsia landscape through practices of free association, collective dreaming, and psychotic speech.
