as a keepsake (2021)

Take with you a place that never existed in the world; perhaps it will help you slide in the direction of deviation.
Objects, wax, print on textile, print on paper, display case, 2021.
Unfolded memory, directed toward the construction of a possible world, fossils that have never seen the light, misplaced artifacts and landmarks on postcards, leave vague memories of places never visited, of cultures never born.
The project consists of a set of crypto-souvenirs from conditional hotels. It is a reflection on the gap between phenomenon and representation. On the particular character of the monetization of cultural heritage artifacts, a phenomenon in the post-Soviet space.
