Solitaire
Interactive Installation, 2019
Plexi-glass, found fabric
This is a set of see-through playing cards. The text burned on the cards is composed of quotes from the 2013 anti-gay Russian law, comments and rationalizations of the people who proposed it, quotes from Russian constitution, other famous Russian phrases dealing with the current political life, pop culture references, and a few short insertions by me. The viewers are invited to play solitaire and dissect the textual fabric of oppression, while finding new ways of coping with it.
