In shoko

installation / Moscow, 2016

The process of creating this work happened to be an illustration of the fact that in our society more and more becomes forbidden and less becomes allowed.

April 6 — 11, 2016 / group exhibition "The object of the power of control and punishment"

This is my emotional reaction to the fact that it was forbidden to use materials which were necessary in my work. From the goal and the task of my initial statement, only the title remains.

As a result, I had a little self-examination regarding censorship and the possibility and necessity of searching for the Aesopian language.
