AP. Who is the Rorschach?
School. Hermann Rorschach (German: Hermann Rorschach) Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist. In 1921, he has developed a psycho-diagnostic test for the study of personality. Rorschach test, also known as "Spot Rorschach." This is one of the tests used for the study of personality and personality disorders. The subject is asked to interpret the ten symmetric about the vertical axis of the ink blots.
Each such a figure serves as an incentive to free association - the subject has to name any emerging in his word, image or idea. The test is based on the assumption that what an individual "sees" a blot, is determined by the peculiarities of his own personality.
Projective techniques - test material organized in a special way and used for the study of personality as a whole or its individual parties. The operation of these methods is the mechanism of projection. This mechanism was first discovered and described by Freud as the process of attributing his feelings and desires that are unacceptable for a person, object, located on the outside. The projection is not realized in nature and is protective, softening the contradictions between the real (unconscious) desires of human and social standards, assessments, conscientious convictions. Of these, constitutive, where the need to structure the proposed incentives, giving them the meaning of (the test Rorschach ink stains, terraterapiya).
The proposed version allows you to find a connection between the graphic tracing, the image of the country and percipients, a lover of geography. For example, the image of the southern part of the northern countries to the north, south, west, east and west may be beneficial influence on the health of the population. You can do terraterapiey, say the industry. For example, a map of the south represent the industrialized north. I would like to give a simple example, if in the north, south, east and west of the cartographic representation of the USSR was the Crimea, the all-union health resort, the history of our country would have been otherwise.
AP. It is a pity that at the moment-Union Camps on the other side of the axis. And yet on your show - that it was the "stimulus"?
School. Today, while the exhaustion of the idea of the state, there is a mass of neuroses and psychopathic reactions to it. My task is to soften and subjected to treatment a frustrated section of society. Maps, as conventionally - authentic image of the country a great tool for this. Lengths of distortions along the meridians, the distortion of distances on the parallels, the distortion of angles, shapes cards allow the use of cartography as a psychotherapeutic tool. Finally, the Rorschach can be regarded as a reaction to the medical community on the explosive development of art practice at the time.
AP. I do not agree with the statement about the exhaustion of the idea of the state, but rather a dead-end was an unprincipled government itself. Will show the idea and run out of frustration. A curious, what prompted those at the most, you have not mentioned the time "the reaction of the medical community on the explosive development of artistic practice?
School. We are talking about 20-e, 30-e years, while the victory of modernism, psychoanalysis, which was a reaction to the ideological and cultural opening of the 10's.
AP. It turns out that now the artistic community to actively apprehended techniques community health?
School. Art technology with pleasure attract health and vice versa. Member of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) and a training analyst and superviziruyuschy Moscow Psychoanalytic Society successfully use my work 79-th year. For example, I in 1996 was the exhibition "Healing art".
AP. The title of the exhibition there is the word "terraterapiya. With therapy, all clear how to deal with "terra"?
School. Land is traditionally one of the oldest medicines. The soils used in cosmetics, medicine, etc.
AP. Somewhere nearby, as I see it, lies the key to understanding exhibited in the exhibition of unusual cards "medical" geography?
School. Map image of the country has long turned into a symbol. Everyone knows "the Italian boot. But everyone knows the problems and the north and south of this beautiful country. I suggest using a modified image of the country, to mitigate the mores of the society particularly frustrated. For fans of the south, can be positioned south of the country in the north of the south, west and east, and to build, so the "ideal" image of the country. Countries of the island, the beautiful ocean Avallone vile of human passions.

I'd add that a lot of work Shutov from this exhibition at the Art Moscow sold for 25,000 euros.
