Honoring

Aliaxey Talstou 2016

Selected Artwork Series

The main issue of Honoring is a connection between soviet-style rituals, family and personal memories and the contemporary Belarusian mythology. One part of the work was created for showing in the gallery, another was performed at the Brest Fortress Memorial. The crystal vase, the main material of Crystal series, is a meme in Belarus, the allegory for the strong Belausian state widely used after president Lukashenko`s familiar quote in which he compared the country with a beautiful crystal vase that he cares aware to drop and break. The words the author uses in his work go “The past is broken. There is only modernity that we have.”
