MEMORY KNOT
antiBiennale «Krasnenkaya» 2025, curator Ekaterina Vasileva
(Saint-Petersburg, river Krasnenkaya, 30-31.08.2025): map and schedule
5 seconds of animation is my memory of feeding the birds sunflower seeds.

5 seconds is 60 frames along the path by the Krasnenka River.

YOU CAN TAKE ANY DRAWING AS A KEEPSAKE!

On August 30-31, during the biennale, I will post an animation with my memory on this page, in which the captured frames will disappear.

Let's see what's left by Sunday.

THE CONCEPT


When everything is forgotten, you can write it down in notes on your phone, create an event in your calendar, or tie something in a knot:

on a handkerchief, on the corner of a shirt, on a thread.


  • Inaccuracy. Drawing is a reworking of what you saw, it's literally "how I remembered".
  • Fragility. Instant thermal photographs of drawings. Thermal printing fades over time, and it happens faster in the sun.
  • Associativity. Thermophotographs are decorated in the form of passepartout, hung on strings along the river. By tying a knot and placing it in an environment, we use the features of the memorization process.
  • About birds. My grandmother loved to feed the birds, and when she was dying, she asked me not to light a candle, but to feed the birds.
