We Lodge together with Existe Buro and DiDi Gallery present the Art Safari project, created with the participation of contemporary Russian sculptors, including: Ekaterina Alimova, Pavel Berezhnoy, Artem Maksimov, Vladislav Mukhanov, Mikhail Pershko, Milena Strelkova and Antonina Fatkullina.
The works actualize the problem of interaction between natural and man-made forms, emphasizing their mutual complementarity. Each of the authors in their characteristic material explores the boundary between artificial and natural.
The inclusion of installations and sculptures in the landscape allows nature to become not just a background, but also a participant in the artistic statement. The viewer, in the format of a leisurely walk, will become a witness to how nature and works of art interact.
To see how this dialogue changes and transforms under the influence of rain, wind, morning or evening sun rays, the sounds of water and forest. To observe the reflection of nature in art and art in nature.
Art Safari is the perfect way to spend time, giving in to contemplation and rest from the city noise.
