- Production Technology
- The installation was made as part of the city festival Iskra Urban Fest 2021, which is taking place in the city for the second year in a row and is a good example of an alternative city festivals. Detailed calligraphy has become a tool for transforming the oil pump unit into an art object.
The installation was constructed in the station square and now welcomes visitors to the city, golden letters on a black background burn with the shimmer of the sun and attract passers-by to read the intricate runes.
Materials: Gold paint MTN Liquid Gold (Spain), brushes, aerosol, sprayer. - Design Challenge
- Installation appeared during the festival program together with the city administration and active residents. At a regular meeting on the improvement of the station square there was an idea to use the old oil pump as a city installation on bus station square. A slogan was created: "Neftekamsk is pumping", which means that the city is changing due to the big social program of the city infrastructure development and attraction of outside specialists in cultural and social spheres.
- Research
- Urban communities are formed around a common idea or problem, so it is important to form urban values. The path of development from resource consumption to alternative directions is a motivation to improve the surrounding space. Destructive criticism attitude is a big problem. The administration is considered as a pest, although most cases of vandalism and deterioration of public spaces are related to the consumer attitude and the action of certain social groups of residents.
- Inspiration
- Manifest:
Having faith in reason, in self-development. With a concern for the environment, it is me.
Hoping that in the future, they (pumping units) will only be objects of memory of how people came to the right and clear decision.
Every road is a path of trial and error, and when we come to perfection, the mistakes will not be the same anymore. Oil is the blood of the Earth's flesh.
Sucking the blood of ourselves will make us vanish. The Earth is not only our home, it is humanity. - Project Duration
