This artwork was created special for the exhibition "Tracing the air" at St. Petersburg in May 2024.
When buildings are destroyed, they seem to become transparent. They look like huge greenhouses, where trees, ferns and ivy climb among the window bars and ceilings. Each seed brought into this occasional greenhouse has a place — sunny near a collapsed wall or damp and dark in the corner of a small room under a rotten ceiling.
In Tskhaltubo, a city of abandoned Soviet sanatoriums, there is one called "Metallurg". At the far end of the building, near the park, there is a huge semicircular hall with stained glass walls — and in the center there is a very beautiful small willow tree. It was almost surreal to watch — such a living, literal embodiment of my thoughts.
I don’t think nature is "taking over" abandoned buildings. Rather, they open their broken windows and offer themselves as a new home. A new place to live.
