Manifestation

In 2013, less than three months in Volgograd happened three terrorist attack , which killed 42 people . Author of the project , a native of this city, within 5 years went to university bus that exploded during the first attack. This tragedy was abroad , who shared the story of the city on the before and after.
The project consists of three rooms: the first associated with natural disaster, plague birds in august 2013 in Moscow, in the interpretation of author omen foreboding evil events . The artist refers to himself as a carrier of mythological consciousness . The second – a series of paintings on the socio- political unrest in the countries since the plague occurred birds. Works made with black pigment , but without the direct participation of the author – images appear under falling of pigment , as a metaphor for the manifestation of the political process until then hidden . The author connects the destabilizing socio -political situation around the world with one big process of global change , whose importance will only grow.
Third – installation, reproducing the first few minutes after the attack in the Volgograd station.
“The artist recognizes his impotence before the course of events and , moreover , argues that attempts to individualize effort relatively meaningless tragedy of this magnitude . And in society , from one year to passively standing under attack another political showdown , there is only dry dust without the will to change. ”
