“An experience that cannot be passed on” – an exhibition with my participation will be held from October 5 to October 25 in Grodno.
At the exhibition, I present the installation “Miscarriage”, consisting of a painting on canvas, a clock and a discharge from the hospital.
The exhibition “An experience that cannot be conveyed.”
“Human culture is based on the transfer of knowledge from generation to generation. The precious experience gained by many human lives sheds light on the world around us and its structure. There is a phenomenon in which, having gained experience, there is no way to transfer it. Everyone will have to face death. Our knowledge of it is limited, because it is impossible to tell others about the personal experience of death. But the perseverance of a person in striving to know the main secret of life, to find out if there is anything after it, is admirable. A person is drawn to death, as if it provides answers about life.
In this exhibition, Belarusian authors share their experiences of dealing with death, their ideas about it, their fears and ways to overcome them in order to help the viewer reflect on this difficult topic. Awareness of our finiteness permeates our whole life. The culture of death, rituals and burial rituals shaped the mentality of our ancestors. By immersing yourself in the history and traditions of your people, you can better understand the present.
How to accept the inevitable end of all life? Maybe the answer lies in the dichotomy of life and death, where joy, passion and action are born through pain, fear and loss. It is death that gives value to life, highlighting its fragility, and gives rise to respect and respect for it against the background of fear of its end.”

Death is a natural consequence of life, with which each person builds a unique relationship and gets his own unique experience.
