Fluid
About the Item
‘Fluid’ consists of 3D models created at the Water Machinery Workshop devoted to the water structures of St. Petersburg. The workshop was organized by ITMO University together with the Zurich University of the Arts. For six days participants travelled to places associated with the development of the Gulf of Finland, which began in the 18th century and still affects the modern living conditions of St. Petersburg. The participants visited Vasilievsky Island, the protective dam of St. Petersburg, Peterhof, Sestroretsk and the lake Lakhtinsky Razliv. 3D sculptures from the ‘Fluid’ series simulate splashes of water apparently caught in the camera lens. Various materials altered by the action of water are used as the texture of objects: granite stones, sand, cement, moss, etc. In this way the artist captures the changes natural materials undergo under the influence of time. All these textures were found on St. Petersburg’s water structures.
