Burning News. 2010-2014
Burning News assumes a metaphoric approach. The series pictures various people standing in a snowy Russian field and holding newspapers on fire. The flames are rising, symbolizing the reaction of human consciousness to today’s bombarding streams of information and “latest news”.
Ensuing this series the video Snowmen explores the myth of the Slavic soul in an ironic but also tragic way: the desire to start over, to burn everything in order to sweep away the past.
