“Every May, Just Like the Last”, a multi-channeled video exhibition and novella by Russian animator, filmmaker, and visual artist Sonia Neputeva is now on view at Gordon Snelgrove Gallery.
Thursday, August 6th - Saturday, August 15th, 2026. Gallery hours are Monday- Saturday, 10am-4pm.
Instead of presenting static objects behind glass, as is common in museological taxonomies, the exhibition at the Snelgrove Gallery invites visitors into the spaces where the film’s story unfolds through nine slow-moving channels of video projection. The scenes transport us into the atmosphere of an ordinary Russian city in late spring through digitally created 3D environments. Visitors are encouraged to move through the gallery at their own pace, exploring these spaces as if searching for someone who is no longer there. They can also stay longer to read excerpts from a novella that takes them deeper into the story of Sonia and Polina, or take a copy home.
