Introduction to multserialu "Invincible Princess Shira »

next week, March 20 in Moscow gallery" Regina "opens an exhibition of Eugene Antufiev" Study material: Absorption ».

It is an exhibition about the shape and color, the shape of its biological aspect of reproduction. about plastic cartoon, which was filled with my childhood and which have generated more my visual taste. exhibition of cheap films Horror with amorphous monsters and alien insects, crystals that grow every second for thousands of years, the snake that lives in my cage, channel "Discovery», gif pictures, whitish mucus, sequins, gladkokozhih dolphins and, of course, about the invincible princess Shiru.

It's hard to explain in verbal form - this is a physical sensation, a mixture of images and movement that is changing every minute, the precious feeling of last year. On each of the interesting things you can now write a separate text, but it is not now the time and effort. try to explain why the example of cartoons. Interest in them has arisen, strangely enough, through the study of mythological systems.

Plastic properties of monsters and heroes of cartoons based on the archaic canons mythological images. Almost every episode of Transformers robots, lost kingdom of swords or magic creates its own pantheon of heroes and villains, whose features are surprisingly reminiscent of the gods and demons. Canons ritual migrated image. Transformers, for example, clearly trace their descent from Hindu gods.

world is full of absurd characters, which, like the trickster, suddenly can change their physical characteristics remain unchanged. In the world of cartoons based does not matter, but the will of the hero, through which it can change, "melt" your own body, the laws of the world. World cartoon, plastic "silicone", after the fall of the hero, loses the impact and then returns the original form, can grow a new limb to grow and shrink in size. There is no death, there is Only endless overflowing matter. Movement heroes smooth, dancing, the "current" - so move the snake, octopus tentacles, so the water spreads over the surface. The colors are bright, unnatural, so colored tropical birds, poisonous insects, cheap toys from toxic waste. These pulsating colors rarely found in nature.

In this exhibition, I spoke to the form, she led me along. the first time did not represent the final result, it is constantly changing. Quite unexpectedly joined in different combinations of fabric, marmalade , nail polish, hair, bones, glue, fake fur. And if I had turned to the old material, but now I was interested in the new.
