‘‘It Will Start Raining, The Body is Mine, Arms and Legs I Shall Chop’’
A man was walking along the canal embankment and constantly repeated one phrase: ‘It Will Start Raining, The Body is Mine, Arms and Legs I Shall Chop’’. Harsh, rhythmically repeated words, which are not addressed to anyone, but time after time, claiming the right to own and manipulate their own, and possibly another’s body, captured attention. He was going my way, and all I had to do to enter the space of this alarums and excursions is slow down.
Reclamation to yourself, an iteration, self-reproduction of the system (the act of an appeal of a system to itself) and caused by this its complication, mechanisticity of a pure process, similar to the actions of non-game characters in the gaming environment, initiated by the machine, whose body can be quite arbitrarily split into separate objects or cease to function.

For me everyday life observation is essential, as well as miscellaneous ways of computer modeling and visualization. I am interested in the relationship between a man, the images, the machines that produce them and graphic languages - a hybrid space, one that combines natural and artificial objects.
The technique of UV printing is used in the works as a method of transferring digital images to a physical surface; deliberately disrupting the technological process and including manual labor practices. Instead of an addition a subtraction becomes a method of creation, which implies erasing, scratching paint from the surface of the canvas until it loses its plasticity. Rubbed into the canvas and desiccated on the surface of the fabric, images and textures under the action of ultraviolet remain as if material traces of those digital objects which they originally were, and the situations preceding their appearance
