Tanya Strelbitskaya and Vladimir Amodeo # NESAHAR Automatic translate

Strelbitskaya and Amodeo teamed up to get a multi-dimensional image of their project. It is one thing to photograph the Earth’s cosmos from a neighboring universe, and it’s quite another when shooting simultaneously from two galaxies. Then the slightest nuances and giant black holes become visible. Not without reason, at the first superficial acquaintance with the exposition, a feeling of anxiety arises, which for some transforms into a desire to urgently flee somewhere and hide somewhere, while for others it creates a need to rush to help, save - in a word, act. It’s not without reason that Amodeo’s images evoke associations with the bodies of the victims of the eruption of Vesuvius extracted from under the multi-meter layer of ash, and the characters of Strelbitskaya directly take us to the most actual discourse, where the “personality” with its “consciousness” appears split into many components, each of which, in response to aggression from the outside, prefers to act autonomously.

The concept of “sugar” in the Strelbitskaya and Amodeo project is not primarily a symbol of sweet life, but the personification of a fragile (like all material) substance, which is easy to destroy. It is enough to throw a piece in a glass with liquid. And so she was and is not. But the project is called # NESAHAR. If we follow the author’s game of meanings, then the conclusion is drawn about such a philosophical category as the dissolution of the insoluble, or about the invasion of the field of magic. At one time, the prominent English court alchemist John Dee (16th century) wrote: “Some substances only pretend to change their nature. In fact, they remain themselves, but their transformations transform everything that exists. ” # NESAHAR of the authors of the project, we have the right to interpret as something that, supposedly "dissolving", at the same time manifests a transition to its opposite - or, more precisely, to a fundamentally new quality. Observe the Strelbitskaya and Amodeo paradigms. Compare them - and you will find a common basis. Amodeo objects achieve such an absolute concentration of antithesism - that is, when sophistication turns into enchantment that they have no choice but to dissolve in the “air” - just like the characters of the authors of the silver age - like all kinds of beautiful ladies there - were dissolved in the pre-revolutionary fog of the North Palmyra.
