Intervals Festival, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, 2019
Mural on the building of an abandoned grain elevator of a flour mill.I was inspired by the proximity of the river and the configuration of the space around the factory complex: the building stands at the foot of the high bank of the Oka River in the historical center of Nizhny Novgorod, from the side above it there is a transport interchange and a metro bridge.
I decided to emphasize the connection of the elevator with the river and used an image of a fishing net taken from a photo from the middle of the last century, and also made an audio-visual collaboration with the Dreamlaser team. During the festival, the picture was supplemented with an animated projection using paint-mapping technology.
After the end of the festival, the projection team completed its work, but the mural remained on the facade of the elevator. The work, which has become the largest in Nizhny Novgorod, is clearly visible even from the other bank of the Oka or from a metro train passing over the river.
