WALL ELEMENTS

This work is a fragment of a mural created in 2015 on the facade of one of the workshops of the Karacharov Mechanical Plant. The building featured a polygonal depiction of Mary Magdalene, which became an informal symbol of the highly acclaimed electronic music and new urban culture festival, Outline, within the framework of which the mural was created. Making a strong impression on 'techno enthusiasts' and like-minded individuals, after a series of events related to pressure on the organizers, the festival suspended its activities, and a new residential quarter was built on the plant's premises. The installation is created in memory of those events, where the effect of stratification literally means 'Parts of Walls,' and the achieved contrast between objects from different eras refers to the rave culture that emerged within semi-ruined monuments of industrial architecture.
