#1: Dark Fairytales

中文

Dark Fairytales is a chapter of the exhibition that represents my reflections on my early childhood that I spent in Moscow, and my early influences in art and storytelling. (Referencing) a lot of visits to the theater and art exhibitions with my mom, but specifically also, a book of fairytales that I have discovered when I was little.

We moved to a new apartment, and there was this book forgotten by the older inhabitants of this apartment. I opened the book and it was old folklore fairytales. They were full of beauty, full of strangeness, full of horror storytelling, and full of things that I haven't experienced before. At the same time, I felt strangely attracted to these images and to these ways of expressing and, you know, coding certain collective traumas.

So this chapter of the exhibition really reflects this imagery. There are demons and ghosts and fairies, and all the things that live behind the thin layer that separates our reality from a completely unknown dimension that I firmly believe was there always.
