From theatre to prison
An invisible public art that brings together two institutions that represent Taganku in the her historic perspective. The gate and bars built around the Tagan prison — quotations from the <laqua; Theatra on Taganke» prohibited by Soviet power.
C why is Taganka associated with Taganka? U sedition of Wysotski and Okudzawa and educated youth — with a patrimony of free thought — < < <Tathrom on Taganka» time Yuri Lubimov. In the people — with & laquao; central& raquao prison; which until 1958 was located at address of Little Bookmasters, d.16. From 'nbsp; she has one building left, on 'nbsp; place four five-year-olds and a children’s garden have been built all over the prison. In the remaining building is wanted to make a boutique hotel, but the local residents are protesting and instead they are required to build in we call the Tagan Prison Museum.
Taganka Theatre, 1960-1970s; Tagan Prison, 1928
Taganka is already a museum: events, dates, memories of how the freest and the daring performances of Lubimov, but still about everyone knew about — as if about it was written by big invisible letters — between houses, in tagan alleys and buildings.
Yuri Lubímov, 1977
It is around this historic Tagan paradigm that the project is built: virtual bars are closing the exits from the the court of the former prison. The bars are composed of and strings — quotes from three prohibited ' lao; Theatra on Taganke& raqua; which quoted all educated Moscow: <laqua; Theatric novel», <laquo; Vladimimir Ostoski» and « Boris Godunov». In play about Wysotsky has been concluded and his song, and quotes from « Hamlet» where he played the lead role. The letters look like an iron fence painted with nasty glossy paint whose scent is known to every citizen in spring. But…nbsp; modern passing letters are not interfered. People walk, as usual, and not know, in where they cross the boundaries of freedom and they are not free.

On the each entrance — phrases (left to right) of the performances & laquo; Vladimir Wysotsky», 'laco; Theatrical Roman», ' laquo; Boris Godunov».
The invisible barriers of the past prison were created by the artist using the Oculus VR and SculptVR apps, and are further developed in 3D by Blender editor.
Often people don’t understand what the artist is doing or why. There’s people walking through the barriers they’ve been told, but they don’t know about freedom or its failure.
Hamlet’s monologue from play « Vladiemir Ostosky»
«So it turns us all into cowards, and it stinks like a flower, our determination, into the infertility of the intellectual Stupid. That’s how plotting with scale, at the beginning of the promise of success, is destroyed by long delays.»
