Video Installation "Zastoi" (“Stagnation”)

"Zastoi" is a video installation by Anton Lapov made in the framework of the project "Decapsulation of the Museum" interdisciplinary project. The project appeals to the fairly recent past - the period the so-called "zastoi" (stagnation) in 1970-1980 in USSR. "The ambiguity of the socio-cultural climate that was typical for that time, is reflected in the communicative integrity of the discourse and the cognitive absurdity of "developed" autocracy. Also, from the perspective of media archaeology, it points out the inadequate attention to the artifacts of the period of the analog signals at the level of the modern Ukrainian museology" – from the author's commentary on the installation. rmu.crevv.com/13/
