The Author on Fire
The project is dedicated to the life and work of Nikolai Gogol.
At this interactive exhibition, contemporary literature, artistic performances, and street art come together. The space has been transformed into a surrealistic apartment filled with quotes from Gogol, mysterious noises, voices, giving the sensation that the mystical writer himself has just left moments ago. It's an artistic fantasy depicting how the famous writer would live in today's world.

Visitors are invited to explore all the rooms: the hallway where the author's phone rings, the living room with modern television broadcasting phrases from his works, the dining room where the author's presence is felt as a shadow, the bathroom adorned with neon quotes and echoing Gogol's romantic verses, and ending in the "cabinet" where a printer mysteriously prints a visitor a prophetic quote.
