Space. 02. Om.

The Living Space project is an atmospheric space in which painting, sound, video and installation are important components of a single idea. The polyhedral interiors of Living Space, almost life-size in size, are built on the principle of a three-dimensional puzzle. On the one hand, Living Space is a reality within reality, reflecting our subjective perception of the current time.

At the same time, these are the living spaces of specific people, conveyed with documentary accuracy. The inclusion of parallel storylines in installations (Buffering - rocket takeoff, Om - paintball) and the use of various techniques (fat pastel, pencil, video sequence) adds additional perspective and makes it possible to show the labyrinths of proxemics more broadly. By designing and changing the familiar environment of our characters, violating the expected behavioral settings, we reveal a common sense of inevitability and the inability to keep personal space inviolable.
