CLANKING, HAMMERING, DISPUTE AND GURGLING (video)
2021

The video CLANKING, HAMMERING, DISPUTE AND GURGLING is one of the parts of the TAILINGS DAM project. In video features two main characters heading for the Tailing dam and climbing it. A tailings dam is a system of special facilities for storing radioactive, toxic and other non-recyclable waste from mineral processing. The work touches upon the issue of man’s responsibility for natural resources and chimeric forms that the imprint of human activity on Earth may acquire.

The video consists of four parts that parody other parts of this project:
1. The сlanking of the Scythian pommel (presented at this exhibition).
2. Hammering on the pipes of the director of Kryvorizhstal, who was sitting in the bomb shelter.
3. Dispute, as a reflection of all the disputes and misunderstandings of our time, between countries and individual people.
4. Gurgling of the water extraction station (2093).
