Cultural premieres: opening of the multimedia exhibition “Time of Time”

Art has long been a part of modern man’s life. And given the wide variety of exhibitions in the capital, it is an understatement not to miss the opportunity to visit them.

By the way, a new multimedia installation “Sense of Time” opened yesterday at ROSIZO, reflecting the events of the Great Patriotic War into fine art and cinema. The exhibition is dedicated to Victory Day and the 80th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Moscow. It contains real photographs, fragments of documentary films and artistic images that reflect the reality of people’s daily life and life in the period from 1941 to 1945.

The installation differs from the others in many ways as the works presented on it are made by artists, photographers and videographers who live at the center of real wars, destroyed cities and tragedies of civilians. These are the original memories, expressions and feelings of the people of that time that we could not find, but that we need to know and remember.

“I’ve always been very interested in what it’s like to live in war. We were always shown soldiers who fought, participated in hostilities and made reconnaissance. And I was wondering how they lived. When Nikolai Efremov and Kinoperedvizhka and I made the first project that allowed us to see the real events of that time on film, I learned that not only officers, but also soldiers were paid and could buy something for themselves. I learned that trains come to the front to wash and dry the laundry, ropes are stretched all over the train station, how bread is made, how they live. And now, thanks to this exhibition, I know more. Those wonderful shots of how an airship flies over Pushkin in the sky seem to me like quotes from some kind of fantasy movie. All these moments are tragic, but it seems to me that it is important for us to try ourselves until this time. Thanks for coming,” project curator Ekaterina Bochavar shared her thoughts.

The “Sense of Time” exhibition is not limited to the works of artists, in addition, precious images of documentary filmmakers are displayed on 35 mm protectors. These are unique videos collected in the “Three Minute War” video installation showing how people live, do and feel in frontline and frontline conditions.

The exposition of the exhibition, prepared in partnership with the Moskino company, the Kinoperedvizhka project, the Ground Solyanka gallery and the New People film company, presents graphics from the funds of ROSIZO, photographs from the Museum of the Great Patriotic War and documentary film stills. Artists’, photographers’ and videographers’ perspectives on the events of 1941-1945.
