Alice and Gagarin
2015
Projects
It is the sequel to the story of Alice Abramovna Gay. It starts at the moment when Alice Abramovna becomes a voyeur, and emigrates to the USA.
In New York Alice becomes familiar with Pop-Art and is overwhelmed with nostalgic yearning for her motherland. She is in this mood when she hears about the flight of Yuri Gagarin, the first man to reach outer space. Just like young girls who fall in love with famous male actors, Alice falls in love with Gagarin, fantasizing and dreaming of him.
The second part of the project – GAGARIN THE SUPERMAN – is the display of paintings and sculptures Alice Gay dedicated to Gagarin: the space bestowed the ability to fly on Gagarin, and he becomes the Soviet Superman, performing countless feats, picking Nina, the Caucasus Prisoner, from the mountain fortress, rescuing polar explorers from the disintegrating ice floe. Flying dogs Belka and Strelka help Gagarin in his valorous exploits.
