Leni Smoragdova is the original name of the artist, as well as the pseudonym of numerous anonymous creators. The artist becomes anonymously replaceable and this happens unnoticed. Anonymity is emphasized by the term Hidden Faces. In the photo series “Figures collection: different versions” the artist becomes a model in one versions, then in another one a photographer. “Inglourious Basterds: heated bus stops” is a continuous actionism that lasted five years in support of human rights within one city. Over the course of several years, art actions were created according to the scenario of the artist or her accomplices, more often the townspeople themselves became anonymous co-authors, thereby developing the project and inviting new anonymous authors, hidden faces, to participate. Gradually, the Transaction Art Universe is being created, with its main characters: animals - a mix of race and people - holograms Hidden Faces, whose main activity is to record and archive all transactions that humanity creates, turning them into an element of statistics. Influenced by personal and global events, the artist creates works that receive a new interpretation - they become part of the statistical archives of the Transaction Art universe. TransactionArt A designation: Transaction - simple bank or business operation. The main points. We are children of war. War is money, money has no face. It's as simple as the Transaction, we are the children of the Transaction, we are the children with hidden faces. - {$M} Why should I pursue for a million when I can rule the transaction art Universe? Reading the code of the matrix, with whom or what you can make a deal, conduct a Transaction in order to gain a foothold in modern society. The heroes of the transaction world - living and dead, people and animals, - are deprived of Transaction codes, like mirrors, they absorb and reflect everything that happens in the "black mirror". They are extras and observers, they are the children of the Transaction, they are hidden faces. Transaction art has an official language. The alphabet consists of all world currencies symbols, pronounced as Hebrew. Before the title of each work, you can see codes consisting of numbers, signs, and letters. This is a reference to accounting. When the product arrives at the warehouse, it receives an individual code. When a product changes warehouse, the digital code also changes. The same happens with the codes in front of each title of the artwork.
