Remote
The exhibition space, framed by the camera lens, becomes a plane, and the forest becomes an interface.
Collective work is the plane of a remote monitor, a video landscape from light to dark.
The exhibition could be viewed via online broadcast.
"Our everyday life is permeated with digital interfaces. Creating an additional reality, they simulate a "real" experience, obtained through "cultural interfaces": it's a kind of permanent being inside, flowing from one interface to another. An interface is a border state, it is not a thing, it is always an effect, it is always a process and connection. But, in its essence, an interface is the plane of the screen, which is an "anthropological prosthesis" for a person. With the help of this prosthesis, the artist extends their body to the whole world, recreates it, modifies it and broadcasts it here and now, online.
As Benjamin said: "although the existence of cinema rests on a great technical illusion (devices that keep the image in existence), but the 'here and now' is not realized by technology, but by the cinematic image. The same is true for the interface: on the one hand, it performs the functional role of connecting the technical and perceptual into a single system, on the other hand, it is realized itself, producing transformations of this entire 'system'."

Object
In reality, the "I" in which you can be sure, changes every second. The decisions made and the choices made give rise to countless scenarios of development. A person does not have one single "I", it is composed of different "I"s, which are constantly replacing each other depending on the surrounding factors and circumstances. "I" is a rhizome, it is a system of mycelium, which is not visible, but it is everywhere. My "I" is scattered in numerous dimensions.
"Defect"
Installation
During the video broadcast from the exhibition, I occasionally placed the shotgun microphone with its furry windscreen at the edge of the frame. In a professional filming environment, this situation is invariably considered a defect and would necessitate reshooting the material.
However, within the context of our exhibition, I intentionally reproduced it as if no rules were being violated.
On the one hand, I liked that the awkward movements of the furry microphone at the edge of the frame, in a way, resembled the clumsy yet persistent aspiration of any artist to participate in an exhibition, to break into an art event. Moreover, I was drawn to the concealed element of filmmaking - in the form of an intrusive object in the very foreground of the video image. Finally, in my work, I addressed the theme of production defect, imperfection, failure in general, and a failed work of art in particular.
Performance
The pyrotechnic control panel, which was connected to the fireworks, was essentially the interface, but a fun one, because it was impossible to predict what would go off and where."

The Interface of Death
Installation
The square or rectangle of death is its interface, its screen - we can encounter it on the internet, we can in life, we can in the forest. We can.
It should also be added that the forest is a place where corpses hide from people.
Both in the dense thicket and in the clearings, they dance right in the mouth of death.
The main thing in this work is the curves of the bodies: ethereal-physical, mental, astral, and all others.

Painting, performance
The image of an artist with an easel accompanied me throughout my childhood during my trips to the Altai Mountains. These, in their own way strange, men, from whom now and then wafted a cognac aroma, deftly mixed paint with canvas.
In conversations, they captivated with their confidence.
Man dies, but nature lives forever - this was their credo, which still echoes with voices in other people, acquaintances with whom occur during travels across the country."
"Error"
Installation
A fragment of memory of a life, a life that never happened.
A glitch in the system, but on the screen it's just a beautiful visual effect, mesmerizing with its picturesqueness and bringing childlike delight from its unpredictability.
"Woolen Interventions"
Object
It's an invasion of woolen, seemingly alien entities, that demand close contact. They kind of call themselves 'Living Beings' and from a person, when in contact with them, it is also required to recognize and call themselves a 'Living Being'. Who or what is it, this Living Being, crawling into our interface, and what is my relationship to it?"
