The installation consists of 15 sculptures and objects.
The materials for the installation are wooden models and moulds found on the territory
of a former shipyard called SRZ-2. To a different extent, the sculptor transforms these
objects, referring to his personal experience and cultural memory of this place.
Industrial hand-made objects have a special lyrical and memorial essence that can
shrink, can become akin to a person, can reveal themselves more fully as other
properties fade into the background, depreciate and become obsolete. Their
technological novelty, market value and aesthetic appeal have already been lost.
Despite this, the transformed objects begin to narrate, balancing between sacredness
and a new functional characteristic.
The work was created during 2018 - 2019.
