[ THROUGHOUT MY ART PRACTICE I AM STRIVING TO GRASP THE FUNDAMENTS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE, THE FIRST FILM 'The creature' DEDICATED TO A BITTER-IRONIC INVESTIGATION OF BIRTH-LIFE-DEATH SEQUENCE HAS HAPPENED IN MY FORMER THIRD-FLOOR STUDIO. AND LASTED FOR THREE DAYS. SOMEONE, WHO WAS NOT ME, HAD BEEN INHABITING MY STUDIO FOR THREE DAYS. IT HAD HAPPENED TO BE A CRUCIAL EXPERIENCE AS IT WAS. I STOPPED MAKING ANY KIND OF OBJECTS AND PAINTINGS. DRIVEN TO IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS, I TURNED TOWARDS CREATING SPACES OF A TOTAL EXPERIENCE WHERE ALL THE KNOWN AND UNKNOW PERCEPTIONS ARE INVOLVED AND BEING ACTIVATED. THIS YEAR, FOR ART LICKS WEEKEND 2015, - I AM INVITING VISITORS TO MY STUDIO ON THE FIRTS-FLOOR, WHERE AN INVERSION OF 'The creature Film' WILL BE PERFORMED. IN EFFECT, IT IS NOT A PERFORMANCE - BUT RATHER AN INVITATION TO EXPERIENCE A TOTALLY NOT-MASTERPLANNED FILM PRODUCTION." - ULIANA APATINA, ARTIST http://artlicksweekend.com/event/white-light/ ]

[ WHITE LIGHT: EPISODE 8: MIRROR OR BIRTH OF THE WHITE LIGHT ]
THOUGH WHITE LIGHT IS CONVERSING WITH The cREATURE, STRATEGICALLY IT ACQUIRES A VERY DIFFERENT VIBE - IN SPITE OF CONTAINING HYPER-SENSITIVE EPISODES OF FEARS, FRUSTRATIONS, MEMORIES AND CONTEMPORARY TECHNOLOGICAL PARANOIAS, IT IS A HAPPY FILM SPICED WITH HUMOUR AND SELF ACCEPTANCE.
SHARPLY DIVIDED INTO TEN INTERCONNECTED EPISODES WHITE LIGHT IS INTENDED TO BE SHOWN ON SEPARATE SIMULTANEOUSLY RUN MONITORS IN A MODE OF AN IMMERSIVE VIDEO/MIXED MEDIA INSTALLATION.
BEING RELATED NOT ONLY TO The creature Film BUT ALSO TO SACRED DANGER, REINVENTING A SACRED SPACE OF HUMANITY, THROUGH MIMICKING AN ATMOSPHERE OF A STANDARD WHITE CUBE GALLERY SPACE - SACRED SPACE OF CONTEMPORARY ART.
PAINTING THE CUBE WHITE IS ALSO ONE OF THE EPISODES WITH THE ARTIST ACTING AS A UNIVERSAL PAINTER BATTLING WITH AN EMPTY SPACE THROUGH ART HISTORICAL REFERENCES TO PAINTING PRACTICES AND PROCESSES.
ALL EPISODES COULD BE GROUPED ON CLUSTERS: BEFORE THE WHITE CUBE, INSIDE THE WHITE CUBE, AFTER THE WHITE CUBE, WHITE CUBE.
WHITE CUBE IS A SITE-SPECIFIC IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION.
