About the Item
Vsevolod Nekrasov is a classic of avant-garde and the father of Russian concrete poetry. Such poetry works with a small set of words that everyone understands, avoids linking them into sentences, but strives to make every word tangible, concrete. This is achieved in various ways: for example, by repeating the same or close words so that the language habit recedes and consciousness can again catch the erased meaning of the word.
Each of the spaces in the game is based on one of the poems. These are worlds where there is almost nothing, only a word that becomes tangible. Before you is a fork in the meanings that you create yourself, depending on the experience of the game and your own reading. Each time they can be completely different, and you can read and think about something that you did not see the last time. These are meditative spaces, cold, half-empty, airy and foggy, where the viewer and participant are invited to surrender to sensations, reflect and only wander, dream, watch and read, ponder new meanings of words that are revealed step by step. Try to enter into a dialogue with yourself and with one of the founders of Moscow conceptualism, feel the poetry without too much around.
Use the WASD keys, Shift and Space to move. The game is designed for PC.
