Stones and Drops
Tracing paper, metal, fishing line, glue, 2021
This work was made at the UDAR residency in the Borovsk prison castle.
The former royal prison of the city became the venue of the residency and exhibition. In the Soviet years, the chambers were used to house the staff of the Udarnik factory. There was a moment when the residents had already settled in the apartments, and the prisoners were just being taken out. Since the beginning of the 2000s, no one lives there.
The installation is situated in a cell on the ground floor, featuring an entrance to a cellar obstructed by a pile of stones. According to floorplans, there was once a torture chamber. I explored the specifics of this place, also weaving the topic with the context of the current repressions in Russia.
