[Vladimir]

On Tuesday, went to the opening of the project Victor Alimpiev "Magic crunch" in the gallery at Regina Winery. Artist complicated, not much for everyone. Glory of him is a long time, experts and curators of the soul is not chayut. From ordinary viewers say that all the end realized, few dare. But power is felt.

"Magic crunch" - an exhibition of video works the same. It is organized properly, without distractions. Through the gateway, which cuts off light, the viewer enters a dark room, the bench in the middle and two screens on opposite walls. On each screen, the actress reads a monologue and enhances tone is simple, but strenuous movements.

Action is the official explanation, but, honestly, it does not help much. When pass through itself, you see his picture. Sometimes a man steeped in the idea of ​​suddenly starts talking to himself. Emphasizes the idea, or vice versa distracted. From the side looks like something unintelligible. Intellectual begins chant obscenities, beach passes to the blank verse - the specifics of the psyche, immersed state. External manifestations - only the echoes of the heavy internal experiences. Video for some reason reminded of this. Photograph - pointless. Spec say that the viewer decides to watch or not for the first 20 seconds. Here it works, everything has been done to the viewer cling.
