About The Artwork

Space speed of technology development, rapidly mutating media field. We do not have time to realize our involvement in the metamorphosis of the metropolis. A kaleidoscope turns unnoticed, each time placing us into a new visual and semantic game: time, architecture, environment. A constantly rising emotional threshold for consumer involvement requires new, increasingly bright and flashy images. The old houses of Soviet and post-Soviet times, are dressed in a new, colorful wrapper, without changing their content at all. Our attention is crushed, crumbling, and will not reunite. In my opinion, this is because the old time never goes to the end, and a new time never comes at once everywhere. Uneven development can no longer be divided into specific areas, geographical or social. With the inevitability of gravity, everything mixed up into one heterogeneous porridge. Humanism in urbanism has dissolved into a kitsch mix of architectural styles, theatrical renovation of buildings, despite age, and programs that ignore the person, but focus on square and linear meters. Glass parallelepipeds of shopping centers across the street from the thermal power station, enclosed by living classics: PO-2. Cobbles of the 18th century under asphalt half a year ago. Being like neighbors on the site, the cities became strangers for us. The author's mirror helps to see the process through the photo and video. Thanks to him we see more. Mirror - is a crutch for the awakening of empathy. With him the photo - it scraped the dead space in which to consider the details of the architecture, interaction with the environment and merge into a single plane. The video shows the dynamics of interpenetration of these planes. A very noticeable movement is mesmerizing, tearing, and exposing the processes taking place in the same environment in which we live. This project is my study of one of the most important components of the development environment of modern man. Architecture, as a symbol of time, talks about us more than we would like. A mirror will make it possible to break the fabric of these delusions.

I have been engaged in photography for many years and I have been drawing since an unconscious age, so the color has become an emotional language of awareness of the real and intangible worlds for me, and photography has allowed me to create stories, in which I put subjective meaning into the object world. I usually use acrylic while painting on boards of different sizes. I use video if I want to give a static picture the energy of drama. I often use mirrors in my works because of their polyvalence and ambiguity. The combination of these media allows me to reflect as accurately as possible on the problems of the modern world. A new theme often encourages me to master new styles and techniques, invent a suitable tool for accurate visualization of the conceived. Using of author's complex mirrors (I cut them by myself, compose and make photos through their reflections) makes it possible to interact with the viewer asking him "Who are you here and now?". The fragmentation is the visual key that unites my works. The role of the fragment more often than not plays a mirror, or rather a reflection. The main subject of my research is stereotyped and conventional thinking. Each my project is a proposal to the viewer to get out of the" zero point of perception" - to replace his own perception and initiative with uncontrolled choice between the existing set of perception and behavior stereotypes. While analyzing each new subject, I examine myself for the presence of stereotyped thinking, and I try to struggle against it. By using combining of different techniques in my works, I construct a mechanism that helps the viewer to reflect on his fears, injuries, experience, mistakes and secret desires.
