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.
