Captured Dreams

Description
20 pillows (45 x 45 cm each), 225 x 180 cm
Why is it always so difficult to memorize the dreams that we have during the night?
They usually quickly escape out of our minds as if they were sneaking away and
hiding the traces. If we could believe that thoughts find materiality then also our dreams might have the material shape as well. Then where do they actually disappear? Might they be stored somewhere?
They can visit our minds several times per night, and often they just slip by barely touching our consciousness for a short while
The work "Captured Dreams" is an allegoric attempt to visualize the idea of the existence
of pillows that could capture dreams and display them. As though the latent image is revealed during the photographic procession after putting it in developing chemicals...

Почему всегда так трудно запоминать сны? Они очень быстро ускользают из памяти, как будто заметают свой след, делая вид, что их вообще не было. Если мы способны поверить в то что мысли могут имеють свойство материализоваться, в таком случае и сны способны принимать материальную форму. Куда же они на самом деле каждый раз исчезают? Возможно ли, что они хранятся где-то? Они могут посещать наши умы несколько раз за ночь, чаще всего едва задевая сознание и оставляя легкий след недоумения.
Проект "Captured Dreams" это попытка аллегорически визуализировать идею существования
подушек которые могли бы сохранять и проявлять сны, как проявляется скрытое изображение проступая сквозь эмульсию на фотобумаге при помещении её в раствор...

Mural. St-Petersburg, Russia. 2012; Technique: graphite, acrylic.
In carrying out the realization of the mural, my teammates at Dopludo Collective Karina & Lesha participated.
Рисунок на стене. Санкт-Петербург, Россия. 2012; Техника: Графит, Акрил.
В осуществлении рисунка на стене участвовал весь Dopludo Collective, включая Карину Эйбатову, Лёшу Галкина и меня.
Рисунок на стене в баре, клубе и выставочном пространстве «Артек», в Санкт-Петербурге, это дополняющая часть интерьера, выполненного Лёшей Галкиным, участником нашей команды Dopludo, и при этом самостоятельная художественная работа. Название «Артек» заимствовано у известного в постсоветских странах пионерского лагеря, расположенного на Крымском полуострове, отсюда и тематика рисунка. Три стадии разрушения слепка головы пионера, это метафора краха амбиций лагеря, как международного места ограждения от национальных распрей, политических разногласий и духовной пустоты. Амбиции рухнули вместе с амбициями развалившегося Советского Союза. Также можно заметить в рисунке, что в третьей стадии раскола в центре головы находится шар или ядро, на него падают тени осколков, таким образом, что образуют силуэты материков земли, что символизирует идею космополитизма, как средство борьбы против политического давления, национализма, служения и вовлечённости в чуждые государственные процессы.
The mural made in a bar, club and exhibition space «Artek», in St. Petersburg, is an additional part of the interior, made by Lesha Galkin, my teammate at Dopludo, as well as an independent artwork itself. The name «Artek» is taken from a famous in post-Soviet states summer camp, located on the Crimean Peninsula. So the topic of the mural comes from that fact. Three stages of destruction of the bust of the pioneer, a typical soviet boy scout, is a metaphor for the collapse of the ambitions of the camp, that was supposed to be an international place of the national feuds, political differences and spiritual emptiness. Ambitions were dashed with the ambitions of the former Soviet Union. In fact in the third stage of the mural in the center of the head is a round ball, like a core, and also there're fragments of the crashed head that cast shadows on it, so that they form shapes of the continents of the earth on the core. This image symbolizes the idea of cosmopolitanism as a means against political pressure, nationalism and involvement in the far-fetched processes.Drawing, Fine Arts, Painting2012 -

Author: Egor Kraft
Artwork consists of approximately 2300 of 1 inch badges on the 135x110 cm piece.
The artwork is called “State of Mine”, it is a selfportrait. The author tried visualize & interpret his own sight of the essence, by splitting it into aspects and using them as ingredients.
The name of artwork explains it, it's a word-play. Expression State of Mind means the particular condition that something or someone is in it at a specific time. The word state has also a meaning of a physical condition as internal or molecular form or structure, for instance: water in a liquid state. Precisely that artist had in view, by doing this structural portrait. He tried to show his psychological and physical condition. So he developed each symbol, which has a particular connection to him, and placed it on a badge, so that every each badge could describe a personality in that period.

Работа включает в себя около 2300 значков, каждый 24 мм в диаметре, на поверхности размером 135 x 110 см.
Проект называется State of Mine. Автор создал этот автопортрет из обыкновенных значков, диаметром 24 мм каждый. Он начал с того, что создал набор символов иллюстрирующих спектр его мыслей, интересов, ключевых событий, как бы, создав, систему знаков - язык, и сделав из каждого такого символа значок, использовал их как матрицу для создания собственного информационного и физического портрета.
В общем портрет насчитывает приблизительно 2700 значков. Егор размеры 135 на 110 см. В данный момент находится в фонде Ripley's в Орландо, Флорида.Fine Arts, Visual Arts2008 -
