(Red spider)
series: anti-Noah's Ark
The image of a spider is often encountered as a symbol in Dostoevsky's works, revealing the demonic world of nature, cruelty and senseless destruction of man. And the red spider from the novel «Demons» becomes a punishment for the hero Stavrogin.


The series of video objects delves into profound reflections on the hierarchical inequality that accompanies us throughout life and the universal equality that will reach us all after death. The works raise questions about the boundaries between living flesh, destined to vanish, and inanimate matter, capable of eternal existence, challenging traditional notions. The bodily remains in the videosculptures serve as a vulnerable shell, while their digital representation on the screen symbolizes a preserved spirit or even the cybernetic transformation of life.

By exploring the relationships between humanity and systems, nature and technology, «anti-Noah's Ark» also exposes the tragic irony of chosenness: why is one destined for salvation and another not? The videosculptures touch on themes of empathy, perception, and transformation, prompting the viewer to reflect on the inseparable unity of the living and the non-living and the possibility of rebirth in a new cybernetic form, where an essence freed from earthly constraints may achieve eternity.
