ТРИДЦЯТЬ / THIRTY
This poetic video work is about a small town where the preserved Soviet past hangs over its inhabitants with gray monolithic buildings, pierces the gaze with geometric lines, shapes their worldview. And even people who were born at the turn of decades, states and ideologies, feel some kind of connection with that era. These elements of the inanimate world fill people with a special melancholy, through the prism of which they perceive and see all living things.
*"Thirty" is a reference to the painting of the same name by Wassily Kandinsky. The film features an exact copy of it, made by the author's father in the late 80s.
