Anna Zaitseva, mentor of the tenth season of Winzavod Open Studios: “The exhibition is about how fear is the other side of hope. About loneliness as an existential test that turns out to be surmountable. About how utopian projects are born and die — in reality and in the virtual world. About how life continues even after the implementation of dystopia.”
Artists of the season: Daria Arbuzova, Yulia Dibrova, Ulyana Elkina, Margarita Zhuravleva, Olga Mikhalchuk, Aksana Pruttskova, Polina Savina, Elena Kholkina, Elena Sharganova, Taisiya Kamyshan.
In the project “I’ve made it up!” Olga Mikhalchuk hid a video about overcoming fear in a state of loneliness in a very familiar, outwardly calm room. A world is woven from real and fantasy, where light breaks through the darkness, no matter what happens.
