Autobiographical notes

... Sentimental love for the old, surviving from the mind a piece of paper, photographs, small useless little thing. They seem so miserable and helpless, I want to do something for them (of them) - to gather together, lay down, to fit one to another ...
Although perhaps they are stronger than we think - in fact more than one generation owners, they have experienced. I gathered them into collages, a sculpture - both built ruins in the park once.
. You can read collages, . can relate to stationery papers, . invalid over time his dismal power, . as a calligraphic compositions - for completing the form on the hand has reached such freedom, . which in Chinese calligraphy is considered the top skill.,
. The texture of the paper, its color, rhythm, lines, handwritten or printing ...
. (this manuscript breaks off)
.
. Criticism
.
. His current occupation Vera Klebnikov designates as "sentimentalism"
. She works with ready material - from the archives of the deceased owners, . old newspapers, . stationery forms and accounts: that is, . with the disappearing and no longer necessary to trash, . which meets in collages and albums, . transferred to the lithographic or shelkografskuyu print - embedded in some new relationship,
. At the same time declared the inclusion of Non-violence - as if the material dictates the system, spread-eagled on the sheets or exposed to the release somebody's biography she remembers her intravital fashion and in accordance with it gets posthumous context.,
. Sure, . Such naturalness intentionally: slurred, . antikonstruktivnaya reality stranger archive (and others' lives) only acquires a new structural integrity necessary coordinates, "sentimental" perebiranie papers and old photographs seemingly as an afterthought, not only creates a rigid visual, . but verbal structure,
. Spatial "holes" in the archival compositions, . hanging over the brink mat "tails" in the newspaper collages, . almost clearly showing the reflection at the time, . also exacerbate the dynamics of the process of "reading", . perception of things; bureaucratic paper lithographic transfer suddenly find handwriting, . lyrical spontaneity,
. Huddled together in the cultural layer and putting it marks, . "living things" inevitably change the meaning aura, . but in this case, the pathos postmodenistskoy work with other people's text - in, . to make the change imperceptible: guess the rhythm, . not overload the box, . not disturb the equilibrium,
