Art object "SOUND"
Type: Concept
Location: Moscow, Russia
Location: Moscow, Russia
This art object is located in the city of Moscow, in the park "Tufeleva Grove": the place is located between Lisitskogo Street and Leonidov Architectural Street. Tufelza Grove Park was designed by the Dutch-American designer and architect Jerry Van Eyck. The area of the territory is 10 hectares. The park is very green, in addition, in the park there is a pond about 1 meter deep, where thanks to a special multi-stage cleaning system the effect of crystal clear water is achieved. "Tufel grove" was on the territory of Moscow long before the plant was founded, relict coniferous forest in the vicinity of Simonov monastery belonged to Moscow princes and tsars. The writer Nikolai Karamzin liked to stroll here, this very place was reflected in his novel "Poor Liza" - the pond, formerly called Lisy, became known as Lizin's. It is on the meaning of Karamzin's story that the idea for the art object is built.
The meaning of the work is that a man, despite all the obstacles and difficulties, is the creator of his own destiny. By committing suicide, as a consequence of unhappy love, Liza deprives herself of both earthly and eternal life. In addition, she leads her mother to ruin and the man she was betrayed to becomes an unwitting accomplice to her sin. The sentimental cult of feelings, love and tragedy was a revelation to Russian readers, and Liza and Erastus are the embodiment of entire generations whose destinies have been shattered.
In our modern age, when comfort seems to be at a premium, there is another suicide every 40 seconds in the world. In total almost 800 thousand people a year commit suicide, Russia is in the top three in the number of suicides. I think it is necessary to shout about this problem and help people, whose mind has become higher than life, to save themselves. This object has a complex structure, a circular shell and inside a central core that represents our experiences, prickly and rusty.
