Way to Yourself

Feelings in Zigura’s art are a means of artistic expressions, like color or texture, and therefore it is appropriate to mention the antique phenomenon of catharsis here. It is the catharsis that allows, firstly, to separate everyday feelings from the emotional upheavals caused by interaction with works of art, and secondly, to reveal the inner connection between the identity of their creator and the viewer. Artists have always known that, despite the achievements of the scientific and technical revolution, a human being has not become a creature of ratio.

Way to Yourself is a kind of mirror through which our emotions become clearer to us. We dive into our world to a great depth and get images of the feelings we experience and see how they can be regulated. Egor Zigura’s project is unique at least because it almost abandons the narrative, destroying the distance, thanks to which the viewer understands that it is his or her personal story in front of him or her.
