HALLUCINATION (art. Г-20-22 а, Г-20-22 б)
Two parts work, the position of the parts relative to each other during exposure varies
The diptych “Hallucination” is central to the installation “The End of History”. Its plot is built from a re-arranged fragment of the plafond of the Jordan Stairs of the State Hermitage ("Olympus", Gasparo Diziani, mid-18th century).
In the composition of the diptych, the figures of the ancient Greek gods from this canvas are combined with the architectural elements of the abandoned estates and mansions of old St. Petersburg reproduced by the artist. The work consists of two parts, the position of the parts relative to each other varies during exposure.
Dmitry Sirotkin (born 1969 in Leningrad, USSR) is a Russian artist-photographer and book designer, an employee of the editorial and publishing department of the State Hermitage. During a personal exhibition of the artist's photographs at the Hermitage, art critic Arkady Ippolitov named him one of the key authors of modern Petersburg photography, along with Boris Smelov.
In recent projects, he demonstrates a gravitation towards large topics (growing up, human goal-setting, the continuity of generations and cultures). In addition to photography, he uses video, painting and objects as means of expression. The artist is attracted by the possibilities of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, blockchain - technologies that he gradually begins to use in his works, complicating them and partially moving them into the online space.
