Maxim CAST suddenly made collage, portrait, historiography. The work consists of nine small photos - art from cave paintings to postmodernism. At the distance of the image formed in portraits of artist friends.

 

"I did fotoakkumulyatsii. These are portraits of people, each of which is composed of more than 600 photographic reproductions of paintings, sculptures and pieces of architecture. They are grouped by ages - from antiquity to the present day, in accordance with the person's age: childhood, adolescence, youth, and so on. D . at some distance from the work, the viewer sees a portrait of a character who, in my opinion, corresponds to a certain era of art. this completes the cycle of Totenkopf, as a symbol of the eternal question: "What's next, to be or not to be?" or maybe it's a symbol eternal peace and eternal, for living form no longer exists? I'd like to find some regularity. I noticed that in the XX century living form of art destroyed, abraded. and that is brewing something new. "- Maxim CAST (Maxim Ksuta).
