«The exhibition is the name of one of two new video projects. «Whose breath is?» - This is video that I made in the Dutch city of Utrecht. It shows a male choir, the musical composition: in certain places, one of the chorister long delays and exhale the breath on the highest note of a musical fragment, while the rest of the choir continues to sing. After delaying the breath of another chorister », - explained the artist.

The second new video, presented at the exhibition, - «My excuse», glorified, in the manner of Northern Renaissance masters, erotism female neck. «I am very difficult to describe this project, I will say only that the neck on the screen the viewer has two girls and one of them makes Pass hand over the head of another. All of this movement reminds man to tell about the landscape spread before them », - continued the artist.
