. Criticism
.
. All that makes Sergei Yakunin, absolutely fit in some primordial national myths
. First, in the context of the myth of left-handed, savvy flea, secondly, in the context of Russian totality accompanying miroustroitelnye projects. Theater artist guild status, . it really is just engaged in a kind of pervasive environmental design, and its objects - whether set design for the play "Bashmachkin", . Project Shakespeare Rooms, . Arrangement "Garden of Childhood", . cycle "of moving books Harms or series of flying angels - always in the future grow and gather into a coherent spatial model,
. Individually, as a "kunstshtyuki or toys, more kinetic than static, but is similar to the gaping" town in the snuffbox, the mechanical and man-made miracle. Their "appearance" in no way an artist does not care - the main, . to design, . erected from improvised litter, . "worked", . ie, . moved, . make sounds, etc. in a deliberately clumsy performance and immersion in the material as it dissolves conceptual ideas,
. Moreover, sometimes in the context of the problem is samoraspad things - "Garden of Childhood" posited fly around and destroy. On the artistic image of Sergei Yakunin corresponds to the typology of "artisan man" - and this role is extremely organic and attractive.
