DiDi Gallery presents an installation by Viktor Remishevsky, a famous artist and founder of the branch of the National Center for Contemporary Art in Kronstadt. This project is a logical continuation of the previous exhibition of the artist in DiDi Gallery, devoted to the theme of "invincible sun."

Sol Invictus (lat. "Invincible sun") - the Roman deity of the solar cult, which gained popularity in the III century AD thanks to the emperor Aurelian. Until the fall of the Roman Empire, the Sun God was revered as the most important god ever to exist. On the day of the winter solstice, which historically used to fall on December, 25 the Romans organized a great celebration in honor of the solar patron.

With the spread of Christianity in the 4th century, the western church adopted this pagan tradition to its own system of views. The holiday of the Sun and the winter solstice became the most important date in the Christian tradition - the day of the Nativity.

The exhibition in the DiDi Gallery is devoted to this phenomenon. In the center of the exposition there's a large-scale light installation with twelve fluorescent lamps. Fixed under the high ceilings of the gallery, they form a complex circular composition - a symbol of sunlight and the cyclical nature of time.

Mirror blocks, placed on one side of the exhibition hall, reflect light rays, creating a sense of spatial infinity. On the opposite side there are five massive metal plates with engraved names of the chapters of the Pentateuch. Framed with a serpentine chain of salt mounds, they provide an opportunity to touch the ancient tradition of purification with salt. The final element of the exhibition are paintings made in the unique author's technique.
