Installation

For group exhibition Four Corners, Luda Gallery, Saint Petersburg, Russia

After the terrorist attack in the Minsk metro on April 11, 2011, the twisted floor at the explosion site was paved with new marble tiles. For two years, citizens gradually trampled this footprint, like a map of Belarus. Today it is almost invisible. The collage is an illustration of how in Belarus reality acquired traumas and fears are not overcome, but methodically obliterated into unconscious neuroses and lacunae of impotence.
