Video

Atlas of Tectonic Landscapes: Slit

From the cycle Atlas of Tectonic Landscapes
2024
16’50”

The video features footage recorded on a phone between 2023 and 2024, showcasing cracks and crevices, cruising through spaces, drifting through cities, existential and emotional states, as well as other poignant snapshots of everyday life. In the context of the entire installation, this creates a documentary window of context.

Video, editing: Sergey Shabohin. Music: Gray Mandorla (Mikita Bubashkin and Sergey Shabohin)

From the series Quiring of Belarusian Literature
2023

Photograph 

ST()RE #16: Dusty Slogan

From the cycle ST()RE 
2020


The work was created during the pandemic. In the photograph, the slogan from Sartre’s book Behind Closed Doors has been placed on a carpeted, dusty path and hung from a balcony for airing. Sartre himself rejected the commonly accepted interpretation of the phrase as misanthropic.

The exhibition presents black and white versions of the photographs.

Collage 

Miracle: Star in the Crack (Keret House)

From the cycle Atlas of Tectonic Landscapes 
2024


An image of the Keret House in Warsaw – the narrowest house in Europe – has been superimposed with a picture of a vertically falling star. When the artist lived in this house, he witnessed such a sight: precisely in the middle of the narrow gap with a view of the sky, a star fell; the meteor burned up in the atmosphere, leaving a long tail. The artist regarded this extraordinary phenomenon as one of the most significant wonders of his life.

Collage

Atlas of Tectonic Landscapes: Gradient of 8 Marble Squares

From the cycle Atlas of Tectonic Landscapes 
2024


The collage presents a diagram of the installation in the form of a line of eight marble-patterned squares, arranged from the darkest at the top to the lightest at the bottom. The abstract severity of the figure contrasts with the fluidity of the reflection of the leaves in the water.
