Механизм бессмертия

Бессмертие, как возможность вечного существования — духовного или физического, является одним из древнейших человеческих стремлений.

Понятие бессмертия обширно, сегодня в нем причудливо сплетаются религиозные воззрения, философские позиции и новейшие научные открытия. «Механизм бессмертия», который конструирует Иван Плющ в своей новой инсталляции, связан с коллективной памятью. Из индивидуальных, подчеркнуто личных человеческих ощущений и переживаний художник собирает «фигуры воспоминаний» (Ян Ассман, 2004), предавая абстрактным…

The no Character Play

L'œuvre d'Ivan Plusch se développe sans hâte, mais avec logique et cohérence. On pense avant tout à ses personnages délavés sur un fond statique, ces séries pittoresques qui, ces dernières années, sont devenues la carte de visite du peintre.

Ivan Plusch installation «Red Strand» shows Russian political regime as a character. Red strands of fabric are painting itself in red color again without understanding of being not faded yet. Sometimes the red paint is spilled on sawdust leaving pink spots on them but this will be hidden soon: we can see bags with new sawdust nearby. Regime is the people who as in the other works by Ivan Plusch…
