project called Allegoria sacra, the third project of AES F after the "Last Riot" and " Feast of Trimalchio, "shown at the Venice Biennale in 2007 and 2009 - an open allusion to the same name by Giovanni Bellini Allegoria Sacra (« sacred allegory "), which is stored in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The plot of this picture is mysterious: a variety of characters from the Christian and classical mythology and history collected on the balustrade of the river. According to one version, the most common among researchers, Bellini painted purgatory on the banks of the river Styx (the river of death), where the souls of the righteous are waiting for decisions, where they will be sent to the supreme court - to heaven or hell.

In recognition of AES F, this picture is always intrigued by them. Thus, the band members decided that the project called Allegoria sacra be part of a trilogy about the modern world (Hell - Heaven - Purgatory). The artists saw the characters in Bellini accidentally meet each other passengers waiting for their flights at the international airport - Purgatory. The metaphor of modern civilization, with its relative value, emerges from a mixture of surreal images of new and ancient religions, stereotypes, media, comics and movie fantasy. Project supervisor - Olga Sviblova.
