Description
Videos at the Natural History Museum
"This is me, too …" is a presentation of videos. The videos show Solakov slowly transforming into objects similar to those exhibited in the Natural History Museum. "Me as a fossil, me as a stuffed duck, me as a snowflake, me as a arid flower from herbarium etc." This project investigates the boundaries of the human desire to be somebody else: a famous actor, a brave knight, a real hero. At the same time it establishes a more proper relationship with the surrounding reality.
