Video installation was produced by dedicated crew from Latvia and Irkutsk on the bank of Siberian lake Baikal. It is a part of experimental art project SARMA. Also SARMA is in a future dance film – documentary. Filmed on the lake Baikal, art piece explores human and nature relations breaking the boundaries of spoken word. Movement and dance was the language before the word was invented. In the video, artist explores the relationship between man and nature, in which the boundaries of verbal communication break down. Since ancient times, it was believed that forms of nonverbal communication, such as movement and dance, made it possible to come into contact with the nonhuman side of the world.

“Meditations and reflektions” – a series of 3D animated videos by rising as the theme of genesis and polisingulyarity shown in 2016 in the framework of the project AntiMuseum in Moscow. Lyoubov Tuinova is a visionary in many areas of art. Applicant Institute of Fine Arts at the Biennale de Paris, as an artist-researcher on the program of alternative economies in the field of art, Master of the St. Petersburg State University, the Institute of Philosophy. Her works has been exhibited in galleries but also as street art objects and postenlightenment propaganda stickers in invading style are located on the streets of many cities in the world: Brazil – Lensois, Itaunas, Hong Kong, Kathmandu, Montenegro, Scotland – Edinburgh, in Russia, on the island of Lombok, in France and in Italy. One of her first major work Hartwin ( “Twin Hearts”) – a symbol of a polysingular mathematical function, postconceptional universalization of rational and sensual, symbol for tao streams, for unity of micro and macrocosm, the symbol of the meaning. Preliminary archaic forces which are reminiscent of the Taoist practices feeling of inner cosmic flows. The artist herself says of its proximity to Eastern wisdom: “Taoist immortals for me the main authorities.” Tuinova’s thoughts in the artworks characteristic “fractal deconstruction”, she often uses as their favorite method of “art-documentation”, besides Lyoubov Tuinova – an artist who uses a new audiovisual language, creating music for videopaintings under pseudonyms, in one of her conceptual projects, we can hear the sounds of Barbie Blaster, an imaginary utopian improved the properties of the character, created especially for needful and sarcastic audience gazing at his own reflection. Now Lyoubov is working on a new artistic investigation, codenamed “Dance of Death”, where dance and death – only two conventions and a preparatory stage in the establishment of a truly human, although you never know, maybe the post or trans – human dignity.

ANTIMUSEUM (Part from the project Meditations and reflections)

Darya Cherkashina — Wed, 28 Apr 2021 16:17:44 +0000

Meditations and refleсtions — a seria of 3D animated videos, wich has been created by Lyoubov Tuinova and her virtual double Luybarbara Blaster as an attempt to sketch another system of axes for thinking and perception of the subject that is sunk into the Internet and another virtual reality. These works are the introduction to the further-to-be-completed film about transportation of emotional patterns, on the threshold for a massive research on genesis of perception, thought and reflection. In author’s program such a possible conceptual scheme and its visual counterpart could be presented as a loop of vortexes that unfolds as kaleidoscopic patterns of luminous superstrings. However, practical implementation of such ideas requires to dive into other associated symbols-icons of arch- and meta-levels, such as full-sphere and sphere, plain and point. “Penetration” as a feature of every dynamics becomes possible to visualise as lineal vectors. In this case it was brought by the work of artist-researcher — record-fixation of videostream of Meditations-reflections.

Something must happen

Darya Cherkashina — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 16:25:59 +0000

“Something must happen” exposes a dream-like reality and shows a life based on a mode of consciousness that could be considered as entranced. In a series of different sceneries, Julia Zastava performs actions in an enchanted way. Against the background of ubiquitous self-representation through pictures, videos and posts performing highlights and apparently “great” moments of life, this video points out the mere basic structures of human existence, evoking sublime suspense.

Scalability

Darya Cherkashina — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 17:33:59 +0000

Scalability is a 3:45 minute single channel video piece with no audio. This video is a portrait of two artist Maryna Makarenko and Colin Rosati. Through using accessible imaging tools such as Google Hangouts the artists are able to capture their own portraits. Google Hangouts is a tool in which self-documentation is not the focus of the technology. By mixing non explicit tools as well as simultaneous video cameras Makarenko and Rosati are utilizing imaging technologies that index and image the world- creating unintentional documentation such as data, reflection of the tools used and portraiture. This video explore portraiture in a networked context where lagging internet, miscommunication and the framing of body in relation to the screen is characteristics of the medium. Makarenko and Rosati are using accessible tools to capture gesture, body to screen/camera relationship. The simultaneity of camera depicts the body as fragmented with in physical, virtual and psychological space.

Soft Power

Darya Cherkashina — Wed, 29 May 2019 13:41:55 +0000

Video is a ritual visualized a metaphor «to press on the trigger by others hands», where the plasticity of two types of movements encounter – soft gestures of «authority» and precise but ingratiating gestures of subordinate. The props in the video (weapons, flag, and hand) are made of silicon – material that is similar to human flesh by its tactile properties. The mechanical sound, made by an Alto, and the choreographed and preconceived cyclical actions of the characters resemble creepy parade of force (which gradually turns into chaos), and blank shot, that stacked in the throat of commander, suddenly heard in our minds.
