Creation — Back to Life

125
The prizewinner of the competition
DAFES choice. April 2025 

A symbol of the will to live, of the passion to live, of the creative life, of the active life. The acute need to get out of the mind and to avoid determination, resulting in powerlessness and apathy. Vitality is the main value, the act of creation is both a means and an end in itself. The importance of retrospective and forward-looking optics is replaced by flat optics. Need for knowledge acquired and transmitted. Art as something natural and human, as the expression of a continuous act of creation that is needed everywhere and everywhere and everywhere.

Locking: 1. Natural, natural area 2. Urban space is gradually being introduced and intervention in natural, creative urban areas. Narrative ends on Moscow Bridge.

MANIFEST

I’m watching, I’m studying. It’s more effective to show once than to pour out the text indefinitely. Know what’s happening on another continent. Look at other people’s windows. There’s a lace of girls from the dumpster on the small Bronna cottage. Monparnas' shadows are down on Popolsk. The world isn’t in a plane, it’s in perspective. Vertical, not horizontal. Discretion. It’s for the sake of understanding. Negative. Refraining prejudice.

I watch, I suspend, I admire.

All a man has is a man, a man in the past, a man in the present and in the future. Façades of buildings and fork skills. Symmetry and the name of the «Bobrick» River. Fear of welcome across the threshold and understanding what a leaf is. Ideas and concepts. Philosophy and a white poem, everything that I don’t read and know, everything I love, the language I speak, it’s all done by a man. Very touching. People are very touching. Some shoes, some targets, some kind of foot plexion. They’re laughing. I’m alive because there’s a man, I’ll never rest, because there’s a man.

I watch, I notice, I remind you.

The world is chaotic, the world is absurd, it is the key necessary knowledge, the denial of which leads to embedding into existing alien systems and worldviews, the denial of which leads to the loss of subjectity and frustration. Everything around and inside is made up and made by the same people whether to agree or not is a choice. The mind of the household is dangerous. It closes your eyes. Faith in determination is dangerous. No karma, no sense, no logic, no solution, no justice, no answer, nothing. We’re all human, we’re all in the same boat. We have the same problem.

I’m watching, I’m comparing, I see.

Apathy, conformism, impotence, and trained fear. Knowledge and acceptance of nonsense leads to the realization that everything is possible, everything is in doubt, everything is right and dictated, everything monumental and usual is just made up, done and, of course, a lot of variations in trying to structure — just someone’s proposal. It’s not a priori. Normalizing a crime doesn’t make it the norm. The usual horror doesn’t make it less horrible. Romanization and aestheticization of the problem do not eliminate it. Universality and the extent of approval does not mean truth. The cult of suffering is a problem. A man is not born to suffer. A man has the right to be civil.

I’m observing, I’m introducing, I’m guessing.

Uniformity and acceptance, automatic consent to everything leads to the loss of a human being as an actor. Refractional passive acceptance and belief in determinability lead to lack of accountability, lack of free will, misleading in its own insignificance, blocking the act of creation and the present life. Everything’s changing, everything’s moving. The instruction is complete. The act of creation is eternal. Freedom either exists everywhere or it doesn’t exist. A man drools without an act of creation.

I’m watching, I’m listening, I’m joining the polylogue.

Ignorance is death. There is the problem of confining knowledge to itself, breaking the world of academic and everyday life. The distance needs to be reduced. People have a right to know. Knowledge can support and save. Knowledge matters, comes and goes. The main thing is discussion. I don’t impose anything, no didactics, no ideology. There won’t be a single line I’ve broken. My work is just a point of reference: To push away from one, to turn back to the third, to swim all over the Islands.

I’m watching, I’m studying, I know.

There is an abuse of authority on both sides, and the people who legitimize it are suffering. Verticality is outdated as a model. The act of creation is necessary in politics, in science, in lifting the fork off the table. Knowledge of the logic of peace is essential. Then everything can be called into question, then it can be done. Then you can say hello over the threshold. Then there comes an awareness of the responsibility and uniqueness of one’s and another, endless possibilities, interpretations, and inventions. Naked enthusiasm for the adventure. The act of creation is by way of bypass; the passion for life is by way of movement. The instructions stopped working. We need an act of creation.
