Fear beyond fear Power beyond power The exhibition - performance "Almanach of Fears" investigates secretly and openly accumulated individual fears in life while looking for opportunities to get liberate oneself from them. "Almanach of Fear" is created by listening to the voices of others, collecting random statements, intonations, the revealed fears of friends and strangers, scanning the surrounding subconscious current with sensitive tentacles. The white noise in our heads has long ceased to be neutral or benign, it has become ominous and frightening. Are we afraid of our comforts being taken away by planets incapacity to fulfill our growing needs? Fear changes in the course of life, becoming more complex and sophisticated with age. Frights of a young person are distinct from those of a middle aged or senior person. Old fears die, giving way to new ones, or materialize, appearing as mere boring bits in the overall existence. Fear exists within us like a parasite feeding on the efforts and energy of the individual.

My love for printed words is so strong that I make paintings and sculptures from orphaned books. I add different sorts of paper, textile fiber and found objects and treat this mixture as if it was a marble mine. I regard all human-made commodities as the raw material of the 21st century, they add opulence, playfulness and weirdness to my objects. My sculptures are hybrids - installations, huge marionettes and idol figures. I overcome gravity using a technique from marionette theater. Sculptures float in air and strings make them alive. I paint because I'm volatile. I catch all my demons and fears with a brush, so they are not threatening anymore. I'm hesitant, that's why I paint portraits in real time. Models don't have to speak. Sometimes I lay paintings in a horizontal plane, like huge rolls of parchment. The public can touch it, walk and crawl on it, contemplating the importance of daily grounding. I'm a mystic. I borrow deities and create semisacred, eerie spaces where sculptures, paintings, words and animation merge in a numinous, baroque amalgam. I love the tactile. My objects are sensuous to touch. I love word constellations, so there are collections of short stories to accompany the visual work. In a courageous mood, I transform stories into puppet performances and collaborate with theaters and musicians.
