"Generation of Winter" of which I curated the layout will be open to the public in Gipsoteca Canoviana of Possagno (10 minutes from Asolo) from 18th August.
‘Generations of Winter’ is a new visual interpretation of a
historical novel, written by V. Aksyonov. Stalin’s repressions and The
Great Terror theme was taken as the main subject for new visual
response.
Listed on 500 unbound sheets are the names of 500 individuals, who
were repressed and executed or died in camp during Stalin’s Great
Terror time. Cited by name, date of lives, and state with brief
description of their occupations, and in most cases, with a defaced
photographic image of the victim. Erasing/ defacing was one of the
forms of falsification that Stalin’s system widely used. People has
been erased not only physically during ‘Purges’ but errased from
our history and memories.Unbound format of the book provides
possibilities to increase the victims collection with times, take pages
out easily or change them according different sequences and
categories.
