Volume of memory, 2018, 70 x 120 cm, 4 lightboxes, found stones, glass, ceramics, glue
The project presents a way of archiving information that argues against this trend. The viewer sees mosaic
sculptures made of stones that the artist has been collecting for twenty years in different cities and countries
when she wants to memorize a moment or a place. Each stone is a fixation of a specific place and time. Each
detail of such a mosaic is an element of a code that can be read only by its creator, and the priority in its
construction is not to reduce the physical volume of information, but to aestheticize this volume, to create an
information sculpture.
Cherepanov’s Sets 2019-2024 Found materials
The name of the project refers to Philip K.
Dick's novel "The Stigmata of Palmer
Eldritch", in the novel the colonists go to
Mars, and for leisure and psychological
recovery they use "Girlfriend Pat's Sets",
which contain their favorite things (made in
miniature), so that through playing with
objects move into pleasant mental states.
We really hope that we manage to be
decolonialists more than colonists. But who
knows whose hand we are playing? Make
toys and play with them - this is my
salvation. A way to create something without
consuming resources, but by picking up
everything out side. But… of course, this is
self-deception, I had to buy needles, paints
and waste electricity when I worked and so
on. Consumption and suppression - it
seems impossible to push it out of human’s
actions. Even this set is my personal
collapse of “actions”.
Toys, different years
Game machine BriickToys, installation, 2020, game machine "grab", filled with designer toys.
The installation
was shown as
part of the
installation
“Park Volny” in
St. Petersburg.
During the
exhibition,
visitors to the
project could
play on the
device and pull
out a toy for
themselves. In
addition to a
unique
demonstration
of the author’s
toy, the project
raises the topic
of the
possibility of
making a work
of art “illegal
sale on the
territory of the
museum.” Can
a sale of art
also be a work
of art?
Magic Mount Kachkanar, 2021, interactive, game installation: inflatable figure "Mount Kachkanar" 3x4 m, created on the basis of
watercolor drawings, an air blower, the artist’s toys are inserted into the “pockets” of the object - these are the inhabitants of the mountain and
natural resources.
The project is dedicated to thinking
about the joint life of people and
nature, environmental issues in cities
formed around factories. Kachkanar
is the artist’s hometown. The project
was created as part of the "CHO"
festival in Yekaterinburg, Russia. It
was also shown at the PERMM
museum, in the project “On both
sides of the Ural Mountains” in the
city of Perm in 2023. As part of the
project - workshop for children on
creating toys from various materials.
