For all mankind. The theme of self acceptance in the moment of instability. The acceptance of: body, age, gender, your ethnicity and capabilities. I exist. My mission is to find my own way.
Everything has worsened. The old pillars have collapsed, and new ones have not been found. We can’t think of anything better than blaming ourselves for what’s happening, for being in a precarious situation again. And instability, as we know, is the way to development and change. But also to crisis. How to get out of this spiral? Where it is unclear and frightening - to try new things. To suspend the program of destruction in oneself is to stop the program of destruction of everything around: humanity and humanness, the planet and ecology on it, peaceful existence. Understand what our program consists of. Why do we continue to persevere. Can art resist destruction? Is it possible to change consciousness in one, to change the world consciousness? The project is interactive, hybrid, includes a number of graphic works (photography+digital painting), multimedia graphics, video performances.
I wanted to convey the duality of the moment when something what awaits us tomorrow is unknown. It is like "Tomorrow of Schrödinger". The sun has not risen, and until we know it will bring us happiness and peace or it is the last day and something shocking must happen. I link my reflections to a quote from the film "Melancholy" Lars von Trier. But unlike the cinematic story, there is no precise pointing of upcoming events. The landscape in the background is actually a still life, taken from random household items: mirror, jagged paper, plastic container, marbles and night lamp.
Absolutely "earthly" household items turn to an alien landscape, if a figure is placed in the frame - she comes, sits and at that moment objects are scaled and become a place and a moment of time. When I was working on this story, I got the idea - we as humans want to be where we’ve never been. But I decided to highlight some hope for a better world on our own planet.
