Mom

Darya Cherkashina — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 14:15:09 +0000

“Mom” tells the tale of a son’s tormented reality of two individuals mind twisted into an inseparable parent/child singular identity.

Either drunk or semi-ill overgrown son dully torments his mother and himself. They are an inseparable pair – the man is always with his mother, still snatches her skirt not being able to get back on his feet. He cries, calls, and rends one’s heart. It seems he has been cast off, but it’s out of the question, it seems he needs something, but he doesn’t, it seems something hurts him, but nothing does, it seems a danger approaches from the outside, but there is no danger. Pain, danger, fear, loneliness are all inside, everything is groundless, aimless, and it comes from tearfulness, swaddleness and nonage. «Mom, leave me alone, set me free, turn me out to hell, the hell with you, mom! », – rushes like waves of red, waves of blood, not allowing to see anything around oneself.

Für die Stadt

Multimedia Installation

The effect of listening to Beethoven is want to “…tell people sweet stupid things and caress their heads instead of smashing in those heads mercilessly…” – Lenin

Lenin stated that he could not listen to Beethoven’s sonata because if he did he would never finish the revolution. In Frant’s Fur die Stadt, hungry foot soldiers fight in a videotaped dance for survival to “Moonlight Sonata“…

FUR DIE STADT (for the city) Pigeons foraging in cold snow of St Petersburg this past winter migrate all the way to New York for spring. Anna Frants’ multimedia installations of Russian city street pigeons scavenging for food have landed on both sides of the East River. Undeterred by the bustling public street around them, Frants video/sound projections of feathered city inhabitants go about their business in the front window of Dam Stuhltrager Gallery in Brooklyn at the Chelsea Art Museum in Manhattan.

Connecting life as an artist in Russia and in America, Frants’ video is set in a frozen, harsh and unforgiving setting where occupants are filmed amidst routine of working hard to find and claim their daily bread. Among the crowd, one bird has notably different movements and it becomes clear he/she is sick or injured. Set to Beethoven’s Sonata, the impeded pigeon is the weakest in the bunch but nonetheless uniquely different, and thus rises as the star.

Paper

Darya Cherkashina — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 14:13:08 +0000

The project is a series about a happy childhood. At this time, the heroes of my videos are “paper dolls” — one of the most popular toys for girls of my childhood. Preserved collection of dolls 80s-90s, as well as self-drawn at the same time the characters come to life and immerse us in a mad world of the past paper. Cardboard memories, lightness and ease, cut-enacted stories, engaging us in a fun game, very special instill life values. And what is all this different from our present existence?
