Dish "look into the sky" from the series "see the sun" (presentation of the full series in 2020). Based on the expression used figuratively: to see the sun means to live. Cloudless heights against the backdrop of urban skyscrapers is designed to attract one's eyes and remind the viewer of his constant companion,
sometimes lost in the bustle of the day. Perhaps this endless, eternal sky can help to survive the difficulties that somehow arise in the life of everyone.
So it works with me, at least.

Work, the creation of which took half a year of my life and the desire to bring together in a single object a primitive culture (represented by the Perm animal style) and modern (represented by "buffs" - repainted illegal inscriptions).

32 plates mounted between themselves on bolts. The height of the walls is 220 cm, the width is from 50 to 70 cm. Inside you can (or even should) to go.

A joint project with photographer Ekaterina Zhingel, made at the Nikel art residence in the summer of 2018. We sealed the city empty and cut this void with bricks. At the exhibition, any visitor could pick up one brick as a keepsake, leaving his signature in return. So the empty city in the photographs was filled with the evidences of the people living in it.

Maps won't help much if you want to learn something about the country. Okay, you can see a lot, big cities, main routes, rivers and all. But there is still a huge empty space in between these key spots you know nothing about.

Small towns look alike due to the same architectural and urban planning ideas; one might actually think they are identical twins. Although there is one thing that makes the difference. That's people. People make the town / city / settlement alive, unique and functioning as opposed to fictional.

The Presence / Absence project is focused on a human factor. The installation makes cold abstract photography meet the handcrafted ceramic object made by artists' and locals' collaboration. Photos of Absence show desolate Nikel landscapes. The brick line called Presence changes the whole picture overnight.

Every person is entitled to take away any fragment of the line if they want leaving an autograph instead. That's the way to be a part of presence.
