videoinstallation
 Videoinstallation
of Vladimir Bystrov and Galina Ledentsova "…in old times one cavalier
those madam… said thus, but she didn't reply…" is devoted to the
dialog as a ritual. Authors are trying to overcome postmodernism
estrangement and give opportunity for communication by the theatrelization
and ritualization of life.
Name of the exhibition is the quatation from an ancient Japanese
literature(Ise Monogotori) , man (V. Bystrov) depicted on the one
of the monitors is reading aloud extracts from it.Woman silently
listened to him is depicted on the second monitor (G.Ledentsova).
From time to time characters are reaching out arms for a cup of
tea or for cigarettes out of the still's bounds, at that getting
from one screen to another. Installation is supplemented with a
videoprojection of the reading text on the gallery's wall.
