"Krista Papista stands at the forefront of this project with her magnetic presence and a unique perspective that continually challenges nationalist mythologies. Her artistic journey has been a radiant one, marked by visionary collaborations with luminaries such as Florentina Holzinger, Jimmy Edgar, Kamixlo, and Planningtorock, alongside captivating performances at renowned venues like Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin, Art Explora, Hyperreality, and Arte TV."
"In Mount Ararat, where the borders of Armenia, Turkey, and Iran converge like estranged lovers rediscovering each other, Papista navigates a surreal landscape aboard a latex-clad Noah's Ark, flowing with candy lube towards a transformed summit, a queer altar pulsating with ritualistic revelry and volcanic tenderness. The narrative evolves from a flood storyline into an ecstatic insurgency, as the visual frame blossoms into a digital psychedelic vulva, immersed in a humid neon cosmos that throbs with courage, desire, and insurgent grace."
