The exhibition features an installation in which the Russian artist reconstructs a Taiga (an ecosystem typical of Siberian regions), with a precise realist intent, through the inclusion of real birch logs up to 4 meters tall and sand dunes. In a space where reality and imagination are meant to coexist and interact, a green railroad track, a concrete balloon, and a small house come together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What defines a man?<\/em> \u2013 asks Olga Schigal \u2013 What does he belong to and what belongs to him? Why are we sometimes driven to leave in search of well-being in distant places, yet at the same time, we long to return to our roots? I wonder if childhood is not simply our home, which, as adults, becomes a memory, an image, and turns into an unreachable place. Far from my land, Siberia, I realized that memory keeps alive within me that world of unspoiled nature, which is the Taiga.<\/em><\/p>\n

The question posed by Olga Schigal is universal and deeply human<\/strong>. The subject addressed, that of memory through the search for one's origins, is a foundational aspect of her artistic journey and remains suspended between different historical eras, places left behind and rediscovered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
