This film explores coping mechanisms, dynamic memory, and forgetting in the face of catastrophic events. 217 sheets of paper with graphite prints become frames for eight short videos. This is not simply a graphic series, but a transformational process. The static sculpture that shares the three-dimensional space with us must begin its movement. After combustion, physical objects become memories of themselves. And in a series of prints/frames, they sink into oblivion.
Sergei Prokofiev was born in 1983 in Moscow and currently lives and works in Paris. In 2013 he graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), Moscow. In 2014, he became a finalist in the international competition "Center - Periphery" (Italy). In 2021, he received the Second Prize of the "Zverev Art Prize" (Moscow). In 2022, he received the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition Solo Award (Denmark). In mid-2022, he became an artist in exile because of his stance against Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. He has curated and participated in exhibitions in Russia, Italy, Austria, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Norway, Denmark, and France. His current work includes graphics, sculpture, installation, performance, and video.
