Khoroshilova Anastasia . Exercises

The idea for "Exercises" came about by chance. I found myself with a book about Greek vase paintings in my hands - I don't remember why - and began leafing through the pages, glancing at the illustrations, vaguely recalling museum rooms devoted to classical art. Suddenly, I came across a surprisingly precise, almost photographic image of male bodies in conflict.

My "Exercises" were staged versions of contemporary hand-to-hand combat performed by Military Unit No. ***. In the event of actual military use, all the elements pictured would be used to destroy the foe.
