Artist Leni Smoragdova

Characters:

- Society, it’s Transaction, it’s Hidden Faces

- Art in its various manifestations, emerging from under the pen of a certain artistic unit, named at the birth of Leni Smoragdova.

The founders of this story: 2007, London, Mikhail Zaitsev, he is also a Scum and a foster man, fed on the energy of the art of transaction. This comrade is especially important, since it was he who inflicted youthful trauma on the cultural unit. And it is thanks to this psychological phenomenon that we read and observe everything that will be said below. Pictures are attached.

And what? Before you appears tediousness-the rules of the game of modern society: “Erase!” And “Anonymize!”. In the arena of peace is a transaction society inhabited by hidden faces. What to do?! This is the system, Lord!

Any theory requires some tediousness in the form of links and precision. Get ready, friends! Ahead of a little theoretical “blablabla”.

The basic definition of Transaction. Its popular interpretation and mass significance. Total in grams:

Transaction - a simple operation in the banking system

Next - the artist’s variations on this topic, w-o-a-l-i:

Transaction man is a set of specific functionality.

The Transaction philosophy is a way through art to show the rules of a “transaction” imposed by society, and, as a result, the appearance of “hidden persons” in it.

Here you need to make extremely serious faces! Do not doubt! They will come in handy!

The origins of Transaction:

Advocacy of the lifestyle “Rags - Heifers - Wheelbarrows” is a term introduced by the psychotherapist Kovalev S.V.

When a person mentions that he is afraid to be used — but only a thing can be used — he considers himself to be a thing. He impersonates himself.

General propaganda of elite prostitution: kept women - when in exchange for their body and youth, ladies and, more often, gentlemen, receive material wealth. But, as a rule, they become just the thing they buy; their inner peace, moreover, their personality is not interesting to anyone, just as they are not interested in the “buyer" of their body. “Buyer” and “seller” become faceless for each other. When the time comes, they just change.

Avoiding friendship, love, loss of basic norms and moral values ​​- all this leads to depersonalization of people by each other.

All this leads to the generation of Transaction.

Remove children from the screen! Now horror stories and elephants will come on the scene - bores

And so - Horror story:

Transaction elements are found in every area of ​​human society. Any phenomenon created by man is interesting in itself.

But only until it is set as a goal for the sake of the goal. In short: Transaction is everywhere, it is comprehensive and growling.

Elephants appear in front of you - bores, theoretically savvy, but terribly cute and friendly! They will shower you with quotes of the great and mighty.

So:

Elephant bore TRANSACTION No. 1

To the address of money:

“The modern level of civilization is faced with a paradoxical situation: the traditional ethical category of good has found itself beyond the limits of morality itself…”

Working only for material wealth, we ourselves build a prison and lock ourselves in solitude, and all our wealth - dust and ashes, they are powerless to deliver to us what Antoine de Saint-Exupery is worth living for

Financial gurus become the "Moses" of their time, claiming that it is their "tablets" that are true and ready for use. The economy is a kind of "Bible." And the main slogan is "Salvage conquers evil."

Money can do everything: they break rocks, dry rivers; there is no peak on which a donkey laden with gold could not climb. / Fernando de Rojas /

Total: Only a harmonious combination of spiritual and material in a person will lead to happiness and creation.

Elephant bore TRANSACTION No. 2

To the war

“War is not a real feat, war is a substitute for feat. The feat is based on the wealth of connections that he creates, the tasks that he sets, the accomplishments to which he induces. A simple game of heads or tails will not turn into a feat, even if the bet in it is on life or death. War is not a feat. War is a disease. Like typhoid. ”- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The worst war is within oneself. It is this war that is most often lost. And the price of losing is your own life.

Elephant bore TRANSACTION No. 3

Addressed to society

Sociology conducts a cut of any manifestations of human life and activity. We will do it too.

If you think about it - in everyday life we ​​constantly encounter the Transaction phenomenon and “hidden faces”.

This is a common example.

Scene in the transport.

There is a strictly set fare.

People come into the bus. Today we can do without tram dramas and rabbits.

People pay money. Let’s say the fee is 23 rubles.

But! For the first time, let us draw your attention to who all these people are.

Mid-level manager who will automatically pay tribute for the journey and immediately plunge into his thoughts - feelings.

Students and schoolchildren who will amuse all passengers with jokes or stories about their personal lives, or adjust the "game take a friend for free." For them, the trip may be another game.

But what if one or two passengers are in a situation where this trip is really something important for them - maybe one of them gives the last money to get to a seriously ill relative? Or this trip may be the last event in his life. Because tomorrow he will no longer be on Earth.

Total: for all, in fact, it doesn’t matter that the neighbor is a boa constrictor and in a kimono!

Or another example - school.

An average approach to education, where children are perceived as part of a certain average “stencil” through which all participants in the system must be fitted. Unique children become single. Bullies can create "their system within the system." Most often there is submission to the rules of the game. Of course, there are lucky people who, having passed it, have preserved and developed individuality and are doing great things, and many have remained… in the control system of the worldview of teachers, having lost their unique talents.

Slogan No. 1: Previously, the question was very popular: "Are you a person or not?"

Slogan No. 2: I would rephrase: "Are you a person or a" hidden face? "

Total: here it is necessary to draw a sentimental conclusion, so that everyone gasps. Lord! Begin, no doubt gasp! Gasp with enthusiasm! Oh, good!

Transaction has long consumed you!

Ahhh! Wah! Babah! Hall applauds standing!

Spectators become faceless players!

What do you do?

Sounds music and aria: “What is our life? A game!"
