bona fide

“Pain is certain. Suffering is optional.”
- Buddhist proverb

A 3-part multi-media autobiographical art project portraying a young woman's transition into adulthood, where she finds what she was searching for and reaps the fruits of everything she was working for: inner peace.

The self-produced short film, mainly narrated through conversations within a therapy session, portrays a young woman's laborious journey of finding balance within. It discusses the question of how to lead a happy life, touching on subjects such as loneliness, addiction, family, love and aspiration.

In the book, the journey is laid out in more detail, entailing personal stories and diary entries as well as further information on the film and musical album. Illustrated by drawings, drafts and photographs by Viktoria’s late great-grandfather, the book serves as the central hub of the project.

“Bona Fide”, the album, is represented in the project as a Demo-CD and Jewel-Case Lyric-Booklet, adorned by photos taken during Viktoria’s branding process in 2020.
