„Nails“, 1:48 min, 2013 (Super A. “Shave your heart” series of 5 videos, 2013 – 2015)

The Character Super A is a superhero with superpowers that makes her the best in everything, everywhere; she is super all the time! Admiration and glitter grace the tips of her perfect nails! Super A is interested in classical music, successful in smuggling, and a pro at housekeeping - turning it into a holiday where even toilet gel can’t resist and is already dancing. She has time for her successful private practice, healing with her own butt all others' needs, while her thirsty lovers connive in order to get her to throw their hearts to her feet. She is a Real Woman in a charming hat constructed from a trash bag; down on her knees, she looks up loyally at her man with her clever eyes, attracting all with her big tender tongue. She's gonna show the whole world to him with her magic toilet brush

Alina Kleytman (born 1991 in Kharkiv, Ukraine; based in Turin, Italy) has participated in exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad since 2009. She identifies her artistic approach as "hysterical realism" and practice spans sculpture, video art, and performance. She explores themes of black magic, abusive relationships, and depersonalization through self-aggrandizement.

In 2010, in the building of the former stables, Alina opened her gallery laboratory, where she curated many projects. In 2013 she curated the project Room Temperature within the framework of Unrespectable of Boris Mikhailov. Her achievements include winning the Non-Stop Media Biennial and being a two-time recipient of the PinchukArtCentre Prize. In 2021, she was awarded the Women in Arts prize by UN Women and the Ukrainian Institute for her contributions to gender equality. Besides, Kleytman co-founded the curatorial group Wet Hole and the Dzherelo Art Pavilion, initiatives aimed at promoting contemporary art in public spaces and supporting young artists.
