Selection by Ksenia Zaitseva
The project brought together authors who study the phenomenon of transformation (society, space, consciousness). Each of them is a practitioner and adept of change.
Andrey Andreev creates images-casts of socio-political metamorphoses.
Gurgen Petrosyan projects knowledge of philosophy onto static objects, distorting and transforming being. In the role of the creator, he plays with time.
Ekaterina Yurashevich is occupied with the topic of conscious consumption, which is just becoming a global trend.
Glory Nesterov is in the field of active experiments with the unknown.
In essence, it is a project-path, in which there is a starting point (let's call it "Here") and geo-tags of changes are indicated. It is up to the engaged viewer, follower, partner or discoverer (new self) to decide which road to take, where to go.
