The project Olga Chernysheva. Dream Street reveals the symbolic world of the artist, presented from the perspective of an observer who captures life through video and photography. Resonating with Chekhov’s The Steppe, the exhibition presents an open space without linear routes or definitive meanings, where the steppe becomes a metaphor for boundless inner experience in which the rational is not separated from the imagined.

Olga Chernysheva. A Little Bit. Prelude (still), 2025
Commissioned and produced by GES-2 House of Culture

Together, we shall discuss sensory perception of the world in its various manifestations—dreams, the animism of objects, liminal spaces, metaphors, and artistic imagery. We shall move away from conventional interpretations of stories and facts in favour of careful observation of rhythms, tonalities, and artistic form.

Official partner of the GES-2 House of Culture mediation programmе.

How do video and photography, whilst documenting reality, become instruments of artistic expression? Why does the absence of narrative allow us to perceive the world in its “natural and living organicity,” as defined by the exhibition curators? How might we employ artistic vision to observe our everyday surroundings? We invite you to join us in finding answers to these questions.
