Wrapped in distant whispers and led by subtle hints she comes. Govra — the deity of the end. She waits in silence to appear where something ends — a day, a road or a human life. Her image, elusive as her very self, combines cold lines of a venomous insect with fluid shape of a deep-sea fish.
From the feeling of strange presence
The cold granite of GovraPod
Encapsulates the sounds within.
A special flash-drive with the recording of the hymn and it’s processed variations rests at the core of this mini-sarcofagus. The lyric of the song is transcribed in strangely shaped letters on the enclosed poster signed by the project’s architects.
Govra
Written and performed by Montezuma's Revenge — «Govra the deity of the End» story and a character by Sergey Safonov
