Part 1

My house - is my illusion.
The project with two parts is a research on a subject about home and cosiness based on personal experience of the artist. During the past 6 months she performed to be practically houseless living in a suitcase wardrobe. 25 changes of places, 13 apartments, 12 hotel stays, one suitcase, one city - Moscow.

Digital print.

Illustration from lonely walks in the city looking for home.

Part 2. Installation.

The artist reveals her intimate values and invites the visitors to enter her dream about home and cosiness. Every interior space has its own attraction force. And the artist herself carries out an act of liberation from things expensive and not that much, valuable or lost their usefulness. Here everything once personal becomes public. In search of a home among various spaces, a corner as a denial of the castle becomes a haven for things. Separated from any attachments to material space, it is the imagination that builds "walls" of intangible shadows and soothes itself with the illusions of security.
