After watching the video SLOWLY WIPED OUT, yes!.

You can take someone out of the world, and the person is not visible among us, so the memories and associations continue to exist.

For example, the associations with this ”empty” work portrait of Alexei Navalny now immediately evoke thoughts and is therefore not an ”empty” sheet.

Coupled with this are the ideals, calling and years of personal struggle and suffering that this person has undergone at the hands of the Russian totalitarian regime.

The video SLOWLY WIPED OUT is a metaphor of this.

To evoke these images forever and remain, even though the person is no longer “alive” among us.

Every time we look at this work.

History is determined in this way.
