fābula Gallery is pleased to present a group project for the Cosmoscow Art Fair, titled “POV.” The booth will feature works by Sasha Lemish, Kristina Rozhkova, and Vilgeniy Melnikov.

POV (Point of View) is a phenomenon in contemporary visual culture that involves a content morphology where the narrative or filming mimics the protagonist’s perspective.

This phenomenon has many different layers of representation — from Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Rear Window,” where the protagonist becomes a casual observer of a crime, to the structure of “reels” memes, which offer a textual description of the protagonist’s situation, through sexualized content and video shot “from a first-person perspective.” This observation presupposes no value judgments.

Sasha Lemish’s work “Woven Hands” is a diptych. The left half of the work is Sasha’s canvas, executed in the artist’s traditional mixed media technique, depicting a still from Tarkovsky’s film “Mirror.” The character examines a Leonardo da Vinci book with drawings of hands. The second part of the diptych is a wooden “stretcher” that imitates the weave of the canvas. The wooden hand models are reminiscent of the hands on the canvas and also reference the works of Emilia and Ilya Kabakov.

Lemish’s “Large Glass” is a work from the artist’s latest exhibition at the gallery, an homage to the work of the same name by Marcel Duchamp, whose work Sasha has repeatedly turned to.

Kristina Rozhkova’s photographs were taken on farms in the Perm and Leningrad regions. The photographer’s gaze here is non-judgmental, an observer’s. The artist does not seek to criticize or change what is happening; she captures what exists. The photographs from this series by Kristina are simultaneously repulsive and fetishized.

Vilgeniy Melnikov’s metal sculpture “Dry Fountain” was created using hydroforming, the artist’s classic technique. The composition of two figures, rough and brutal, is, in contrast to Kristina’s works, non-objectified and highly aesthetic.
