ABSTRACT
On August 1, 2024, “at the top of Peace Square,” an original artist’s project opened, connecting the world’s beginnings and ends in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk.
The key feature of the event is the clearly evident synthesis of museum architecture and pictorial matter. We are enveloped by a multi-hall pictorial and graphic installation, assembled from almost a thousand juicy “pictures” that are collected in swarms, matrix panels, horizons, dotted lines, and vertical cascades... The formed universe is inhabited by heymakers and kings, cups and sages, lads and Marusyas, the sun and Old Russians.
In order to “tame this world,” we need to somehow connect the feelings and thoughts that spontaneously arise while meandering through the exhibition. As a possible way of understanding the pictorial and spatial text, I offer the following notes. It seems to me that the inquisitive museum visitor seems to need clues, metaphors and words that express involvement in the event and help to extract meaning.
