The video work "no mental scars, no nursed grudges," 2022, presents two young acrobats creating figures together — the older girl becomes a support for the younger one. There is also a pose performed by the younger girl individually, however on an object, which is the handstand canes. All the exercises are recorded with two cameras, one of which is fixed on a large bolt. The robot observes and analyses girls' movements in close-ups and slow motion, in order that all their gestures and strains are detectable. This anthropomorphic machine becomes a character itself — it is visible in the distance shots performing a choreography. The title of the work comes from Zygmunt Bauman's "From Pilgrim to Tourist – Or A Short History of Identity," from the passage "The Player."
