„The exhibition is based on the materials I have found accidentally at a street in Tallinn. They are pre-war black and white negatives of unknown author, most probably an amateur photographer. This finding I consider as a personal message, and my attempt to share it I have prolonged as a work-in-progress for many years. It was difficult to find and adjust space, where essential story would fit ideally. First time the version of the project was shown in “Closer” experimental electronic music venue and gallery in Kiev which has not only an apt name and space, but an understanding for the ways this story has been assembled – by „cutting, mixing, and scratching”, referring to its own musical experience. From this comes also title and concept for this version of the project. But not only, as subconsciously has the project related to Jungian concept of individuation – a complex process of developing individual self. Identifying and distinguishing unique features and „self” of each human being. I am sure that this complex and in its own way adventurous path is walked not only by individuals and protagonists (persons and personages?) but some groups, even peoples and countries. When I have referred to Wikipedia, I discovered that articles on “individuation” differ significantly in various languages and the entry in Ukrainian did not exist… Thus, does really, as this text implies, verbalizing or visualizing are needed for the very realization of existence beyond our own determination of a phenomenon or a process?”
