Viktor Alimpiev. A Few Presents for Oleg

Viktor Alimpiev. A Few Presents for Oleg, 1997, DV, 7 min 30 sec

This video animation is based on a monotonous repetition of images. The artist has created a kind of paradise at home, transforming ordinary, everyday objects into cloying pink props. Swinging like pendulums, they create a hypnotising and repetitive rhythm, accompanied by mellow music, plunging the viewer into a doll-like nirvana against his will.
