WALKING
INSTALLATION
Exhibition «The End of Carelessness. Four Proposals for Radical Care»,
Contemporary Winzavod, Moscow 2022
The interactive installation Walking tells a story of the drive to explore and experiment. It traces the steps along the path
of creation, revealing stages that usually remain unseen. Process or result – as an outcome – what is it really, and does it truly matter?
«The Walking» installation guides the viewer down the path of the artists’ reflections in the process
of creation. Fragments of the installation are placed on a single axis.
The passing from object to object, the viewer learns more about the forms of the material
that sometimes dictates its own conditions – glass appears bumpy, sharp, matte, smooth.
The composition is completed by a narrow mirror, which, by the artists’ idea, focuses the entire path in its plane.
The whole installation, located on one axis, appears to the viewer in the reflection of the mirror, summarising
the way the artists go while experimenting on the material and by these means creating a new object and experience.
Every step meant different:
- the large glass - the essence
- thin debris - the defeat
- the glass in mirror reflection - starting point, freedom
- a group of objects -Ideological searchings, attempts to find the way
- the evil glass - the fatigue, loss of faith, temporary defeat
- the mirror - the bridge
