The multimedia installation consisting of a nine-piece handcrafted game board and a video essay maps out the inner world of the role-playing game Potvory. The game was developed as a cooperation between anto_nie and Maxim Shchapov over the span of 3 years and offers a queer-feminist reading of early medieval Slavic folklore. The physical board references the materiality of hobby dioramas (for both miniature based war-games and model railways) as well as museum displays while the video essay and game artifacts (like cards and character sheets) tell the story of a unique group of queer monsters.
