“Sewing my mouth against the backdrop of the Kazan Cathedral, I wanted to show the position of a modern artist in Russia: a ban on publicity. I am the intimidation of society, a mass paranoia, the manifestation of which I see everywhere. ”
Answering in an interview with the question of the originality of his gesture, he said: “This practice was both among the artists and among prisoners, but for me it did not matter. The issue of primary and originality did not stand to me. There was no task to surprise anyone, to come up with something unusual. Here, rather, it was necessary to make a gesture that exactly reflects my situation. ”
