Wir alle,wir alle
leben in Erwartung.
In Erwartung von Ereignissen, die unser Leben verändern werden.
Doch womit beschäftigt man sich während des Wartens?
Die beste Wahl ist die Kreativität.
In der Ausstellung werden ausschließlich neue Arbeiten aus den Jahren 2025–2026 präsentiert.
Aus den Projekten:
„Typologie imitieren“
Ein sarkastischer Blick auf künstlerische Forschungen, die in Wirklichkeit gar keine Forschungen sind.
„Irrationale Bewegung“
Um sein Leben aufrechtzuerhalten, führt der Mensch eine Vielzahl von Bewegungen aus: Er steht auf, setzt sich, geht, rennt, wenn er zu spät kommt.
All dies sind rationale und notwendige Bewegungen.
Doch wie verhält es sich mit den Bewegungen von Tänzern, Turnern, Zirkusartisten und Darstellern des Bewegungstheaters?
Wozu das alles?
Performance als irrationale Handlung?
Das Projekt dokumentiert die Bewegungen von Künstlern, Sportlern und Akrobaten während ihrer Auftritte. Alle Aufnahmen sind dokumentarisch und entstanden unmittelbar während der jeweiligen Aufführungen.
In der Ausstellung werden sowohl Performances präsentiert, die gemeinsam mit der Künstlergruppe Bel.Climate realisiert wurden, als auch solche, die der Autor als Zuschauer fotografisch festgehalten hat, einschließlich Aufnahmen, die als Streetfotograf auf der Straße entstanden sind.
Projekt
Stil — Neopiktorialismus.
Die Bilder sind digitale Fotografien, die anschließend manuell bearbeitet und als Original im Format 35 × 24 mm (Dia) angefertigt werden.
Hochauflösender Scan.
Fotografischer Abzug.
Das gesamte Projekt ist eine direkte Fortsetzung der künstlerischen Linie der Künstlergruppe „Belarusian Climate“ – Fototheater, die bereits 1989 mit Performances wie „Die Eroberung der belarussischen Wüsten“, „Aeronauten“ und anderen begann.

All of us,
we all
live in anticipation.
In anticipation of events that will change our lives.
But how do we occupy ourselves while we wait?
The best choice is creativity.
The exhibition presents exclusively new works created in 2025–2026.
Among the projects:
“Imitating Typology”
A sarcastic look at artistic research that, in fact, is not research at all.
“Irrational Movement”
To sustain everyday life, a person performs countless movements: getting up, sitting down, walking, running when late.
These are all rational and necessary movements.
But what about the movements of dancers, gymnasts, circus performers, and actors in physical theatre?
What is the purpose of all this?
Performance as an irrational act?
The project captures the movements of artists, athletes, and acrobats during their performances. All the images are documentary photographs, taken directly during live shows.
The exhibition includes both performances created with the Bel.Climate art group and performances documented by the artist as a spectator, as well as images taken in the streets in his practice as a street photographer.
The Project
Style — Neo-Pictorialism.
The images are digital photographs followed by manual processing and the creation of a 35 × 24 mm original slide.
High-resolution scanning.
Photographic printing.
The entire project is a direct continuation of the creative direction developed by the Belarusian Climate art group through its photographic theatre practice, which began in 1989 with performances such as The Conquest of the Belarusian Deserts, Aeronauts, and others.
