Unconscious Art Photographs 2009 - 2010
People write on the walls, and the City Services paint the inscriptions over. As a rule, they are in a hurry to cover everything up in time for some event. They often fail to match the paint, and use a similar one, or whatever paint is available. Hooligans write over the fresh paint again. And these inscriptions have to be painted over, but the colour is different again. It results in a certain fight of chaos and order, of art and emasculation. And this fight gives birth to imprints which are filled with the picturesque power and compositional dynamics. I called it‘the unconscious art’because those who create it do not think about the art, their main goal is to complete their work as soon as possible. And my series indicates that the art even exists regardless of the human will, and against the surrounding circumstances.
