FORCE FARCE FALSE

2021

Glass, smog, dust;
190 x 100 cm

The slogan Force Farce False created on the glass from the home secretaire from the dust that the artist collected at her parents' house, where she was quarantined in 2020. The inscription area also collected dirt, dust and smog from Partyzanski Avenue, on which the windows of her parents' flat look. The glass stood on the balcony since the spring of 2020 for many months.

In the video, which was filmed by the artist during the protests in Minsk, we can see and hear how police cars and protesters move along Partyzanski Avenue on different days during the Sunday marches in Minsk, as well as the column of protesters during the "Partyzanski March" on 18 October.
The video is supplemented by sound that the artist recorded during her participation in the largest protest "Freedom March" in Minsk on August 16, 2020.

The inscription FORCE FARCE FALSE refers to a time of slogans, manifestos, doubts, instability, fears and hopes, a time of anger and enthusiasm that looms in the air, a time of strength and weakness. A time of transparency and falsification of events; of fragility of the present and illusory proximity/distance, of borders; a time of anxious waiting, fear of the unknown, timelessness, illusion, phantom.

The artist herself points out that this slogan is “a symbolic dedication to a turning point in time in the era of post-truth, when the flow of information is characterized by the layering, displacement and devaluation of meanings.”
