In a complex production made for the POLIN Museum in connection with the exhibition Blood: Uniting & Dividing<\/em>, the artist returned to blood-related themes. However, she was no longer focused on exposing the presence of violence in pop culture. The title Tisiphone and Alecto<\/em>, referring to the names of two of the three Erinyes (Furies), clearly indicates that the artist is reaching back in time – to Greek mythology but also to the Bible, with the opening dialogue referencing the Book of Genesis.

\n\nIn the play’s “intergenerational” performative action, a symbolic “drop of blood” moves between the Erinyes – who originally came into being from the blood spilled during the castration of Uranus, and who onstage are connected by a red thread and in constant motion. All of this is interspersed with confessions of toxic family relations and a story told by Micha\u0142 Januszaniec, co-author of many of Burska’s films, about the marital entanglements kept hidden away from the world by the narrator’s forebears. The film as a whole not only exposes certain obsessions with the notion of kinship and inherited traits, but also reveals eugenic convictions about racial hierarchy deeply rooted in post-Nuremberg society. The absurdity of such thinking is emphasized by the choir singing scientific descriptions of how blood functions in the human body.<\/p>\n
