FREEDOM OF THE WILL

December 2017, Ekaterinburg-St. Petersburg-Moscow

 

 In the project “FREEDOM OF THE WILL” the basic and the most popular in the street art terms are found by their explanation. The terms are freedom, willingness, street.
The project has to be viewed in two stages and exists in parallel on the street and in the exhibition space. The first step is the step of spiritual release. The act is happening on the street, which is understood as the parallel artistic space. The fence which is painted before is cut in the silhouette of punks. These images demonstrate different emotional status: the scream and hatred, love, laughter and so on. The holes, which are cut in the fence and destroy the solidity of a physical border, is the metaphor of a released spirit. In this case we are giving freedom to the inner rebel in the shape of punks who stay in the feelings and freedom of any circumstance. The street fence symbolizes the place of the author’s spirit, without any demands coming from institution or professional society.
On the second stage colored shapes of punks appear in the gallery space and start being a part of the exhibition. Therefore, the space of the gallery is the antithesis to the air of the streets.
