Art and Responsibility

A series of colored album sheets with photographs of romantically dilapidated village fences, complemented by handwritten quotes from Mikhail Bakhtin's article "Art and Responsibility."
The work alludes to the well-known hope that art is capable of playing some role in the socio-political life of society. However, in reality, it represents only decorative trinkets.

The State of Fences Object
object

Russia can be called a country that is very fond of fences, because everything that can be fenced off is fenced off, and often even what absolutely does not need to be fenced off. Here, everything starts with a fence and requires a special fence and restriction: events, everyday life, power, homeland. Life itself here flows, is built and is accompanied by fences. In a sense, the Russian fence is eternal, a fence here is more than just a fence. As part of the "Under the Fence" exhibition, a flag will be installed for the state of fences.

Black holes
Printing on transparent film
Black holes are the only celestial bodies capable of attracting light with the force of gravity. They are also the largest objects in the Universe. We are unlikely to find out anytime soon what is happening near their event horizon (known as the "point of no return"). These are the most mysterious places in our world, about which, despite decades of research, very little is still known.

A fence is not a barrier or a divider, it does not protect or preserve. Furthermore, a fence does not contain or define, nor does it restrain or prevent.
A fence is a basic element of reality. By creating a horizontal, a vertical, and an extension, it amplifies, reflects, and organizes reality.
A fence creates being, giving rise to something else. A fence, as a universal tool for research, can successfully replace entire sciences, such as sociology and statistics. The obstacle in this path is that the fence is not capable of initiating action. However, this shortcoming of the fence is so great that even possessing the property of violating the first law of thermodynamics by amplifying any emotional impulse without expending energy, the fence is rarely used as a universal device for measuring the density of a field and revealing its nature.

Elvis is Alive and Dreaming

Music, video (fence texts - sub-fence pop)

In Russian culture, a fence is a sleeping place for alcoholics and drunkards. Elvis, depicted on the fence, in turn, died from drunkenness. Thus, the fence becomes a paradoxical Russian monument to Western culture.

It conveys the eternal connection between Russian and Western drunkenness, while being an insurmountable obstacle to their potential merger.

The relentless construction contributes to the formation of new social structures and consumer desires: the installation of a forest outside the windows as a promise of an ecological future, a fenced and guarded territory as an increase in social status and security. Closed guarded territories, cottage villages, horticultural non-profit partnerships, covering the entire territory with their own infrastructure from kindergarten to the church, resemble medieval fortified cities.
