Working Title: [Mystery of Vault 13]
Dimensions (approx): 80 x 120 x 30 cm
Media: authentic soviet child gas-masks, small mounted photos on transparent plastic (or glass/acrylic), supporting construction (intersecting planks), ambient illumination. (Please find attached the rough sketch)
Artwork Description
With this work I would aim to create a post-apocalyptic myth of the abandoned (Vault 13) by providing 'shards' and hints of the surreal, psychological* horror and hauntings through a fair amount (approx. 50-100) of small transparent photos illuminated from behind. I would be the author of all photos (please find attached a sample).
One of the work's highlights would be the original and rare soviet child gas-masks (approx. 7-10) seamlessly incorporated into the installation. The glass-covered eye holes would be left transparent and illuminated from behind the masks.
All the objects would assembled on a frame of 'chaotically' arranged (wooden) planks (please view the attachment). Everything, with the exception of transparent illuminated surfaces, would sprayed in one unifying colour (silver, black). The colour of illumination would be cold blue (it might change in the process of the further development).
I see this idea as a testimony to Charles Dickens's ghost stories in the light of the contemporary problems and bleak visions of our future. In other words, as a ghost story from the future. Nevertheless the part of the initial idea is to make the work looking 'antique' as it arrived from the past of the future.
- The horror-hinting photos would be by no means graphic but rather suggestive and surreal
