for UNCLOUD FESTIVAL
(UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS)
THRESHOLDS EXPLORES THE PHENOMENA OF LIMINALITY FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES - AS A PHYSICAL SPACE, PSYCHOLOGICAL
STATE AND RITE OF PASSAGE. BY WARPING THE GAP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL REALMS, THE INSTALLATION MERGES SPACES WITHIN
THE FORMER PETER BAAN CENTRE, COMPOSING AN IN-BETWEEN STATE OF PAST AND PRESENT. WITHIN THIS LIMBO, THE MANMADE STRUCTURES ARE NO LONGER A PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC NOT AN ART SPACE, BECOMING A PLACE OF PURE LIMINALITY, ENDOWED WITH DUALITY AND VERY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF BEING STUCK IN BETWEEN OF STATES, OF BEING IN THE CONSTANT TRANSITION

THE COMPUTER GENERATING A SHADER IN REAL TIME IS CONNECTED TO A JACQUARD MACHINE, AND TRANSMITS A RANDOM FRAME FROM 9 FRACTIONS OF THE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT, AND THE MACHINE, IN TURN, INTERPRETS THE INCOMING FILE CONVERTING THE SUBTLE STRUCTURES OF OUR DIGITAL REALITY INTO INTIMATE, TACTILE MATERIALS. ALGEBRAIC SIMULATION OF LIFE - KNOT TO KNOT IN A JACQUARD LOOM - ENTERTAINING RECURSION AND A NEW LIFE

"DEFINITION" WAS PERFORMED ONCE IN OCTOBER 2020 AT THE NEW STAGE OF ALEXANDRINSKY THEATRE IN SAINT-PETERSBURG.
THIS WORKS EXPLORES CONCEPT OF SOLIDARITY TROUGH SERIES OF VIDEO STORIES THAT BUILD A NARRATIVE AROUND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
THIS WORK IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING AND CRITICALLY ANALYZING RUSSIA'S PARTICIPATION AS ONE OF THE POLITICAL POWERS IN THE REGION. FEMINIST NARRATIVE AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS BECAME GENERAL ISSUE WE FOCUSED DURING RESEARCH.

IN THE CENTER OF THE CIRCLE IS A LIVING DIGITAL SUBSTANCE, A SIMULATION OF THE POSSIBLE MOVEMENT OF A STONE INSIDE ITSELF. IN IT, THERE ARE VARIOUS GRIMACES THAT BURST OUT IN AN UNFINISHED SCREAM. THE GRAPHICS AND THE SOUND ARE INTERCONNECTED IN A GENERATIVE MOVEMENT: IT HAS NO END OR BEGINNING, AND ACTS ACCORDING TO A MACHINE CODE, SHOWING A NEW IMAGE AND MAKING A NEW SOUND EVERY TIME, UNREPEATED.
THUS, THE INSTALLATION IS A KIND OF LIFE, AN INTELLECT THAT HAS SOME CONNECTION WITH “THE HUMAN”, BUT MUTATES THIS CONCEPT, BECOMING SOMETHING OTHER. THIS STRONG EMOTIONAL CALL EMPHASIZES THE DESPAIR OF THE STATUS QUO. THROUGH IT, WE GET IN TOUCH WITH TRANSMUTATIONS: THE POSSIBILITY OF JOINT ACTION, OF UNITY, OF HEARING AND BEING HEARD. THE INSTALLATION IS A CAPTURE OF THE MOMENT, A CRY OF DESPAIR - AND CALL FOR THE UNITY OF THE MOVING AND THE PETRIFIED, A CALL TO CONSIDER THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO. IN IT, ONE CAN HEAR THE GRIEF AND DESPERATE HOPE FOR FORTHCOMING CRITICAL CHANGES AT THE ROOT OF THE POLITICAL AND AESTHETIC OPTICS OF THE PUBLIC EYE.

SIMULATION OF THE FLUID STATE OF A SUBSTANCE, AT THE TANGENTIAL STRESS OF WHICH, ITS DEFORMATION OCCURS, LIKE A COLLISION OF HUMAN VIEWS, CHANGING US FROM WITHIN FOR SECONDS OR FOREVER
ЛЮДИ ПЕРЕХОДА
ARTISTS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST SENSITIVE TO TRANSITIONS OR CHANGES. THAT IS WHY WE ASKED THEM QUESTIONS. FROM MARC SHAGALL TO THE PRESENT DAY, THE CREATIONS AND STORIES OF ARTISTS, THEIR TRUE TRANSITIONAL PEOPLE, HAVE OPENED UP HIDDEN CONFLICTS BETWEEN GENERATIONS, NATIONS AND COUNTRIES. GLOBAL SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CHANGE IS NOT ONLY LINKED TO CHANGES IN THE POLITICAL REGIME, BUT ALSO TO MIGRATORY FLOWS, FOR EXAMPLE. ARTISTS ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THEMSELVES, THE TIME AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEIR WORK IS BORN OR NOT BORN. THESE ANSWERS REACH US THROUGH PERSONAL STORIES THAT CHANGE IN TIME AND SPACE. EACH STORY DEFINES THE TRANSITION IN ITS OWN WAY, EACH NEW PLACE CAN GIVE A NEW DIRECTION TO THE CREATION. WHAT DOES IT COST TO DO ART TODAY? THERE ARE MANY ANSWERS, AND EACH OF THEM REFLECTS THE MODERN EVERYDAY.

VASILY KANDINSKY AND KAZIMIR MALEVICH
THROUGH THE STUDY OF COLOR AND FORM, ARTISTS PENETRATE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS, CLIMBING THE SPIRITUAL LADDER OF HUMAN GROWTH. THE PLOT IS BASED ON THE FLOW OF ONE EMOTION INTO ANOTHER THROUGH SPECIALLY SELECTED TEXTS AND THE ORDER OF FLOWING COLORS.
THE SEQUENCE OF EMOTIONS AND COLORS IS BASED ON THE THOUGHTS OF VASILY KANDINSKY, THE THEORY OF THE MASLOW PYRAMID, THE INTEGRAL PHILOSOPHY OF KEN WILBER AND THE INDIAN THEORY OF POETIC MOODS (NATYASHASTRA). MALEVICH AND KANDINSKY DO NOT STOP WHERE THE CREATIVE MOVEMENT USUALLY STOPS. THEY GO BEYOND THE SO-CALLED "ENLIGHTENMENT" - AND GO FURTHER, OPENING A NEW HISTORY OF RELATIONSHIPS ALREADY BEYOND THE HUMAN PERCEPTION.
