About the Item
Anna Tolkacheva’s work is devoted to an artistic study of Norilsk. The author has recorded more than 200 videos and devised an electronic controller by which the viewer can regulate the views and colour of the city. Pressing one of the five buttons of different colours launches video clips featuring the corresponding shade. If you press several buttons in a row, the image will include all the specified colours.
By deconstructing the habitual view of a resident of the city, Tolkacheva suggests looking at the surrounding space through the prism of artistic perception.
