Feeling stuck and free at the same time. 
The painting participated in an experiment ‘What Do You See Here?’ (see the URL) - to show how differently we all perceive visual art.

Prague Avenue

Dusty, smoky, rushing and gray. That's my beloved Moscow, the city I come from.
When asked what Moscow spots I love the most, I feel really puzzled. Those are not museums or parks, but some ugly backyards where we used to walk with my friends, small offices I used to work at, wide streets I used to rush along. Emotions and bittersweet memories - that's what I do remember. "Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep" - as Regina Spektor sings in her song.

The video:
This very sincere, intimate track contains the artist's (Varvara Skibina) thoughts, moods, and ideas on making art. It guides you through her creative process as if you were standing very close to the canvas together. Get your source of inspiration, rebalancing, and mindfulness. We highly recommend you to listen to it in your headphones so that you get the ASMR feeling thanks to a superbly made soundtrack (by Anton Lushev). Thanks for watching and listening! We are looking forward to your feedback on this one! :)

She-He Space

A Belgian designer and a well known Chinese film actor duo reflect on 13 years of life in one of Beijing most unusual homes - a 16th Century Daoist Temple, 'Nian Hua Si' (Picking Flower Temple), that has been shared with Beijing People’s University printing factory, and that has been recently sold off to Beijing Buddha Association, throwing the lives of long term residents of the Temple and the Factory into disarray. Nobody knows what will the outcome of this turmoil bring, as the possibility of the important architectural and historical landmark to be developed into a concrete jungle is looming closer, and the eviction date approaches. 
In recent years, most of the traditional Beijing ‘hutongs’, or alleys, have been turned into luxury high rises and expensive Western-style shopping malls, due to rapid economic growth, uncontrolled development, property speculation, and corruption. Narrated and filmed through the lens of Varvara Shavrova, a visual artist, curator and director, and a long term Russian-born Beijing resident, ‘ Temple Run’ film project will offer a sharp and uncompromising view on contemporary China as it asserts its position in the Western and Eastern world.
