This work is the 6th photograph in a series 6 b&w 120x100cm Diasec® 4+4 prints The project continues my experimental work in CogArt. Its theoretical considerations are based on the assumption that one of the major purposes of creative work is to elicit aesthetical reaction in the recipient. The aesthetical reaction could be achieved via satiation with multiple meanings presented through multiple sensory modalities. Thereby, a greater synergy is achieved, which in turn increases aesthetical reaction to a work of art. However, the core element of any work in CogArt remains a poetic text. In the present project, it is combined with photography. The signature mood oscillations are conveyed through poetic text, which alternates the verses expressing fluctuating manic and depressive states, respectively. Each verse is incorporated within a photograph of a female figure enriching the poetic text with visual expressions. In this project, I have also experimented with a cross-modality technique; that is, applying the elements of one modality to another. The application of this technique to poetry is well known in contemporary literature: Visual Poetry enriches poetic text with visual elements. In this project, I did the reverse and applied the key poetic methods to manipulate visual elements. In poetry, rhymes and meters link separate elements thereby constructing a specific rhythm of the poem that unites those elements in a coherent whole. I have applied this modus operandi to photographs in the present work. Thus, three pieces depicting depressive state and three pieces depicting manic state follow the structure of sestina (DMMDMD). The resemblance with this poetic form is reinforced by repeating the ending of each previous verse in the beginning of a new verse. Further, each pair of these states is linked by a visual ‘rhyme’ constructed through a photograph’s focal element (hands, clavicle, and rope). These poetic methods applied to visual elements combine independent pieces in a coherent whole. Due to this intrinsic connectedness, the order of presentation becomes irrelevant. This project was presented at SIKKA Art Fair (Dubai, UAE) in 2017. TEXT in the photograph: i just want to drink like everyone – wine to eat cereals with fresh berries for breakfast and simply inhale fresh sea breeze or polluted city air all the same i just want to be like everyone else

I consider myself both an artist and a scholar. I cannot disentangle these two endeavors and I believe that my artistic and academic works complement and inspire each other. I am professor of psychology and researcher in psychology of creativity and multilingualism; my scholarship has appeared in edited volumes, scientific journals, and encyclopedias. I have developed a new Bilingual Creative Education program that combines foreign language learning and creativity fostering techniques in a unified curricular approach. I am a published poet; my book of poetry has been published in Russian. I am an artist constantly looking for new means of creative expression. In search for these methods, I shifted the focus of my work from traditional poetics to alternative utilization of poetic text. I work at the borderline of visual art and poetry and actively participate in the projects combining poetic text with various art media. I am an artist and curator at the Leize Jenius collective (Berlin, Germany), which has curated a number of exhibitions in various geographic locations.
