МОИ ПРОЕКТЫ
Zones mark successive stages of transition within the VOID project.
ZONE 1: BEYOND
The Beyond marks the first stage of transition into deeper layers of reality.
There is a phenomenon known as lucid dreaming — a dream where awareness suddenly awakens and you realize that you are asleep.
This happens when you begin to sense — at the edge of perception — that reality remains intact, but its internal logic begins to fail. There is a sense of a quiet wrongness. And in that instant, awareness arrives: everything around you is unreal, everything around you is a dream.
A dream is just an illusion, so there is nothing left to fear. You gain courage to influence reality itself, reshaping it at will.
I have experienced lucid dreams since childhood. And it carries a side effect: the waking world begins to feel unreal as well. Reality no longer feels solid or unbreakable. It becomes permeable and unstable.
Beyond is an attempt to hold this condition: the sensation that something in reality is not quite right.
To reach this state, I photograph at dusk, in fog, at night — during transitional moments when outlines blur and ambiguity opens space for imagination, allowing one to sense what cannot be seen with the eyes.
ZONE 2: THE VEIL
The Veil marks the second stage of transition into deeper layers of reality.
Once, while listening to a piece of music, I was walking through an underground passage. Dim lamps overhead replaced one another in sequence. At a certain moment, I noticed that everything around me was moving in a single rhythm. The same rhythm was present in the music I was hearing. Since then, I have repeatedly observed this pattern.
Music makes it possible to see what is invisible to the ordinary gaze — revealing the boundary structure of reality. I call this boundary the Veil. The Veil has a wave-based structure and is governed by a unified rhythm. Music tunes perception in such a way that this rhythm begins to reveal itself everywhere: in the flicker of a streetlight, in ripples on water, in one’s own footsteps.
The Veil is not a separate layer of reality, but a boundary between the familiar world and deeper layers beneath it. It is felt as a fluctuating structure: densities shift, forms tremble, and space behaves not like solid matter, but like a medium. The Veil resembles the surface of water. It ripples, reflects, transmits, and distorts.
Attention creates ripples across it — and within these distortions, the depth beneath the surface begins to be sensed.
A sense emerges that familiar reality is only an upper layer, sustained by the movement of a deeper level beyond the boundary.
The works in this section register the boundary itself — its fluctuations, transparency, and rhythm — revealing how the Veil allows the presence of deeper layers to be felt.
ZONE 3: RITUAL
The Ritual marks the third stage of transition into deeper layers of reality.
Ritual begins with movement. It is a dance with energy — alive, escalating, a state where caution is impossible.
Where stopping is not an option. Where doubt has no place. Everything depends on you: on your ability to hold the impulse, to enter the flow, to let force lead you.
Ritual does not tolerate weakness or analysis. It demands presence, resolve, and the courage to surrender fully to motion. Improvisation becomes law. The works in this section emerge from that state — when control gives way to force, fear dissolves into motion, and crossing becomes inevitable.
Ritual is a dance of force — generating the transition from the familiar world of reality into what lies beyond the Veil.
ZONE 4: THE VOID
The Void marks the fourth stage of transition into deeper layers of reality.
The Void is understood as the deepest, foundational layer of reality — a domain where forms have not yet stabilized and laws are not compulsory. There are no clear outlines, no familiar geometry, no noise of everyday structure. There is energy and primordial chaos — free, wild, unpredictable. And at the same time, there is silence.
In the Void, time loses its linear pressure. It does not rush forward or fracture into before and after. Everything exists at once — as potential, as vibration, as a charged field awaiting form. This space resembles a star-filled sky and the black depth of the ocean — dark water from which everything once emerged and to which everything ultimately returns.
The Void is a cradle — a fundamental layer upon which higher-frequency worlds rest. It is infrasound.
Darkness here is not absence, but density — thick, fluid, almost aquatic. Forms are not yet defined, but they are already possible. The Void does not reveal. It draws you in. Within it, the world ceases to be something observed and becomes something that must be entered.
The Void is a place I feel as my true home.
