exhibition EYES

Team project / Coauthor, art-director,
digital producer and multimedia creator

The phenomenon of human memory is not fully understood today. Throughout our lives we discover its possibilities.
Only fragments of the events of the Great Patriotic War related to emotional episodes from their lives have been preserved in the memory of the residents of besieged Leningrad.

The multimedia exhibition «Eyes» is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi blockade. The exhibition is based on real stories of people who spent 900 days and nights in the blockaded city.

In this project, the authors decided to apply modern technologies in a different way, turningthem into a tool to shorten the distance between generations. With the help of artificialintelligence, the authors will try to recreate fragments from the memory of the residents of the besieged city and through the use of modern technologies to tell about important historical events.

Each hero of the exhibition is a unique story of life in inhuman conditions. Real events, their witnesses, faces, eyes, voices, smells and sounds are intertwined in the artistic canvas of the project.

The heroes of the exhibition are witnesses of the siege of Leningrad who live in St. Petersburg today. Modern technologies used in the creation of the exhibition allow viewers to look at the events of the past through the eyes of the besiegedcity.

80 years is too long a span for the modern world. Today, technology is developing rapidly, facilitating human labour, ensuring safety and improving the quality of life. But at the same time, technological progress is moving us further and further away from the events of the past, increasing the distance between generations every day.

The concept of the exhibition is eyes reflecting events in people's lives.

Eyes that can tell much more than a monograph or a book. Eyes, as the most expressive thing in a person, ‘speak’.

In this project, the authors decided to apply modern technologies in a different way, turning them into a tool that reduces the distance between generations. With the help of artificial intelligence, the authors will try to recreate fragments from the memory of the inhabitants of the besieged city and through the use of modern technologies to tell about important historical events.
