As in previous years, Anna Frants presents video and audio installations. The artist’s works become partly fantasy and partly an instinctive immersion, intertwined with programming and robotics. This year’s exhibition continues the series of works “Personal Space” begun in 2015, dedicated to the phenomenon of attachment/love to the inanimate. In “Other Shores,” Nabokov called it an “individual secret”: “With unexplainable tranquility, I looked through the glass at a handful of distant diamond lights, shimmering in the blackness of distant hills, and then as if slipping into a velvet pocket. Subsequently, I distributed such treasures to the heroes of my books, to somehow get rid of this wealth.”

Americans use the word “elevator” for a device that Russians and English call a “lift”. But whatever it’s called, essentially it’s a lifting device – something that lifts us off the ground, and like the mythological Antaeus, we temporarily lose our strength when detached from the ground. In this installation, a video projector, screeching along a rail and projecting the video of an elevator shaft on the wall, reminds us of this anxiety. However, we see slides that a pair of old Kodak projectors display at our feet level, and these impressions firmly keep us grounded.
