Nikita Seleznev at the Archstoyanie

On July 23, Archstoyanie-2021 opened in Nikola-Lenivets. This year, the festival addresses the phenomenon of the personal and how does it change during the pandemic. 
⠀ 
Nikita Seleznev, one of the participants of the festival, prepared the sculpture "Toy", which came from trying to think of death as a personal necessity and the difficulties of discussing it. 
⠀ 
The work lying on the floor resembles a child's toy or a primitive sculpture. The plastic refers to the tombstone of Viktor Borisov-Musatov, made by the sculptor Alexander Matveev. Unlike Matveev's sculpture, Nikita Seleznev's work doesn't represent the figure of a boy, but fragments of a toy body. The appeal to the childish, artificial, creates the tension necessary for artwork.
