My name is Olga Bobkova. It comes from the name of Volga River, which felt the smell of Siberian fires.
Fires destroyed not only forests, they drove people out and set alarms in our minds.
Project Objectives:
Siberian fires were the result of the immoral behavior of the villains covering the criminals who destroy forests for personal profit. To hide their crimes they make fires, but fires destroy animals and birds nests. Smoke covered almost the half of our country and millions of Russians, including old people and children, suffered.
Therefore, the first goal of my Performance is to draw attention to this problem and organize people to protect our life, health and our Nature.
This year fires burned Siberian forests and undermined the credibility of government authorities. This story revealed that there are only ten aircrafts capable to fight fires ( this information is taken from official sources and it could be no more than three planes in reality). Now everyone understands there is not enough equipment to fight fires in Russia.
The second goal of this performance is to raise money in order to buy or lease new Amphibian plane, which will be constantly on duty.
Performance Description:
The planet is being modified with the help of five participants, losing the visual beauty of the natural landscape.
