Living matter is driven by cosmic principles, but on Earth it is still voiceless. However, “the heat-breathing mass of the unknown is already peeping through the thinning film of the current cultural eon, which has moved, as it were, to its limit, the limit of its version of anthropo-cosmos” (DA Prigov, Own / Alien Places). In order for living matter to acquire a voice, a new anthropological shift is needed that would reshape our perception of the surrounding space and, along with it, the perception and qualifications of all previous cultural and aesthetic experience of mankind.
"The idea is based on ancient geoglyphs, Soviet landscape words from trees 70 YEARS OF THE USSR, LENIN 100, as well as modern examples of dug up inscriptions (e.g. PUTIN POMOGI, dug up by residents of a village under construction)."
Concept: Land-art performance PRIGOVPOMOGI (Prigov help) includes a group trip to one of the fields of the Leningrad region and choreographic digging of the inscription PRIGOV POMOGI. Thanks to satellite google maps, these inscriptions can today be seen with a non-human eye from space. The land-art performance is presented as a video installation of footage of the digging process made from a quadrocopter.
