Jessica Gallery was awarded the “Best Booth” award at Cosmoscow 2024. The stand was an excerpt from a movie in which the hero rushes along a night road, shabby billboards, tired of the marketing burden, flash on the right, villages and rusty bicycles flash by on the left. Feeling tired of the glossy world and the promises of life. Many pictures accompany us forward into the foggy dawn. The stand concept, inspired by the work of “Viola” by Ivan Chemakin, was realized with the participation of Ilya Grishaev, Grekhta, Vera Svetlova and Nestor Engelke. The architecture of the stand belongs to the young designer Antonina Mazepa from Maze Studio.Oct. 27, 2024
