Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of space in the “DAU” project, directed by Ilya Khrzhanovsky in cooperation with Yekaterina Oertel, Alexei Slyusarchuk and Ilya Permakov, among others. Feature films and documentaries that constitute the project were shot in the years 2009–2012, mainly in Kharkiv, in a closed scientific institute, built exclusively for this purpose. The aim of the article is to examine selected spatial solutions in the project, to contextualize them, and, consequently, to link the film architecture with the behavioral sphere and the corporeality of the characters. The methodological tool, supporting the research of the text, is the category of the underground, embedded in the work Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. In the process of interpretation, the author draws attention to the connections between the mechanisms of oppression functioning in the totalitarian system and the symbolic language of the body and architecture.
