Somewhere Nowhere (wip)
Old Gothic ruins are wonderful, charismatic objects which inspire me during a lot of years. Huge, broken outline of walls, blind windows, column pillars, ruined buildings without roofs – these are great ingredients for sad, romantic story. Sometimes, I find that the environment where ruins stay is too boring and it spoils a common impression, transforming ruins into a simple, uninteresting objects, that no one pays attention to. Every time I saw such a place, I had desire to make a difference and move the majestic ruins to more suitable environment where their power, greatness and charm would come out. And I’ve started looking for these places ... in my head. I took the ruins of dull city parks and moved them to special places where we go just once and stay there only for a while. Now ruins stay in abandoned places where nobody lives. Only nature reigns there. However, sometimes I intend to move them to other landscapes where the human presence is clearly felt and traces of his activity are very visible. This way I connect two realities - past and present. And about the future I let the viewer guess.
