Выстава «Стан розуму»

Праект «Стан розуму» - праект шведских мастачак Анікі Карлсан Рыксан і Ганны Віёла Хальберг, які даследуе этычныя, юрыдычныя, сацыяльныя аспекты жыцця прадстаўнікоў сэксуальных меншасцяў у Расіі. Тэмай дыскусіі выступаюць дэфіцыт vs. магчымасці, дачыненне vs. адчужэнне, прадвызначаная vs. абраная ідэнтычнасць.
«Стан розуму» прадстаўляе сабой дыскусію на тэму інтэркультурных перспектываў палітыкі ідэнтычнасці. Гісторыі заснаваны на дакументальным матэрыяле, які збіраўся ва ўмовах поўнага даверу людзей, у якіх браліся інтэрв’ю, да мастакоў падчас збору дадзеных. Цэнтральнымі пытаннямі сталі пытанні лідэрства, дэмакратыі і правоў чалавека.
На сямі маніторах адначасова 39 чалавек з палітычнага і персанальнага пункту гледжання апісваюць жыццё ў Пецярбургу ў ракурсе праблем сэксуальных меншасцяў, Усходу і Захаду, прыватных сітуацый і канфрантацый, а таксама сваё бачанне будучыні. Сярод іх людзі ад 17 да 67 гадоў, студэнткі, журналісткі, псіхолагі, стрыптызёркі, дактары, офісныя работнікі, кіроўцы, паэткі, юрысты, навуковыя супрацоўнікі, прадпрымальніцы, рок-зоркі, гаспадыні дому і г.д. Відэаінсталяцыя ўяўляе сабой групавы партрэт з выявай Нявы на заднім плане. На фотаздымках вялікага фармату сябры і сямейнікі збіраюцца ў гістарычных месцах Пецярбурга.
