Katerina Belkina, Greeting The Rising Star, 2022

Artwork concept Greeting The Rising Star:

I wanted to convey the duality of the moment when something what awaits us tomorrow is unknown. It is like "Tomorrow of Schrödinger". The sun has not risen, and until we know it will bring us happiness and peace or it is the last day and something shocking must happen. I link my reflections to a quote from the film "Melancholy" Lars von Trier. But unlike the cinematic story, there is no precise pointing of upcoming events. The landscape in the background is actually a still life, taken from random household items: mirror, jagged paper, plastic container, marbles and night lamp.Absolutely "earthly" household items turn to an alien landscape, if a figure is placed in the frame - she comes, sits and at that moment objects are scaled and become a place and a moment of time. When I was working on this story, I got the idea - we as humans want to be where we've never been. But I decided to highlight some hope for a better world on our own planet.
