"Ark number 19861001"
Photo, self portrait 250 X 500 cm
With Andrei Lobov
For many thousands of years humanity invented different ways to protect itself from the danger around it diseases, wild animals and weather conditions. We have achieved great success and at the same time destroyed a lot. If we imagine a great flood, should exist as human appear in the future? And who will be responsible for it? Every second we are moving from the past to the future and the artist constantly asks himself: should we, people, defend ourselves from the world or need to protect this world from ourselves? The artist tries to understand what to do by putting himself in a plastic bag without access to the air, having built the shell between herself and the world around her. Watching how pulse increases, how the of health changes and fear appears, the artist notices that nothing has changed in the world.
