THE ARMOR'S HEART (art. С-Д-20-22)
In this work, a replica of the decorative element of the Mikhailovsky Manege from St. Petersburg, knightly ammunition solemnly crowned with a plume, is complemented by charred electrodes protruding carelessly from the very heart - evidence of repeated attempts to revive the imperial and warlike spirit with discharges of an agitational defibrillator
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.
