In his new interactive three-dimensional installation in the premises of the pop/off/art Gallery Dmitri Kawarga arrays a retrospective list of the pets which once lived with him, but have now passed away. This is a peculiar materialisation of ghosts which inhabit the consciousness of the artist and visit him in dreams. With the illnesses and deaths of each of the creatures is connected a story, at times heart-rending and irreversibly imprinted in the very core of the creative consciousness. Whilst sorting out one’s own psychological debris and being a distinctive artist, how can one be drawn into the process of the current artistic discourse? And is it possible to avoid similarly being drawn into foreign communicativeness, remaining an appropriate artist for the art world? The artist proposes to the viewer to come inside his experience and try to find the solution to his contradictions.

When connected to the instruments of bio-reciprocal communication, the visitor of the exhibition is going to, in the artist’s words: "feel like a tense dead cat in the culminating period of post-necromantic coupling and try to enter the discussion field of Russian contemporary art".

The author considers the tasks complex and mutually exclusive, therefore their successful solution is rather vague. However, a similar conflict, to one degree or another, is relevant to each of us. The solution to the problem of balancing personal originality with the established order of perceptive images and meanings requires the constant “coming into the theme”.
