On September 13, 1987, the artist Genadz Khatskevich tried to steal a plane that was traveling on the flight "Minsk - Rostov-on-Don" with the help of a piece of soap and two wires to fly to Paris.

H. Khatskevich was detained, he was threatened with the highest measure of punishment. The trial lasted for 8 months. Thanks to the efforts of his family and friends, he was transferred from Rostov-on-Don prison to Minsk for forced treatment. That's how G. Khatskevich ended up in Navinki, where psychiatrist V.F. worked at that time. Kruglyansky.

In 1988, G. Khatskevich received an official order from the RNPC of Mental Health to design the transition between the buildings of the center and created a unique series of stained glass windows (more than
80 objects).

After 30 years, media artist Siarhei Gudzilin turns to the documentation of G. Khatskevich's stained glass windows in order, on the one hand, to record works of Belarusian art of the late 80s that are collapsing over the years, and on the other hand, to analyze the viewer's experience of interaction with visual objects.

Stained glass windows by Gennady Khatskevich, which Siarhei Gudzilin moves from the inaccessible space of the closed institution
and placed in the gallery, find themselves in a situation of a borderline view, when the external and internal boundaries of the work itself are shifting.
On the one hand, we cannot look at stained glass windows autonomously, from the safe space of a white cube. On the other hand, the very status of stained glass windows as art objects requires a special perspective, which is blurred in the context of a closed medical institution, where the viewer is a casual visitor.
