"muráshevsky dom" – a Mysterious Book by Artist Katerina Lukina

The book "muráshevsky dom" by multidisciplinary artist Katerina Lukina resembles a play where the narrative unfolds through images—illustrations and stills from her original film. The work is complemented by dialogue from the characters and stage directions.

"muráshevsky dom" is a place of hidden forces, a final gathering space for “one’s own.” In this realm, the characters possess a different way of seeing. In chess, there is the concept of “promotion,” when a pawn reaches the eighth rank and may transform into any piece. Similarly, as the character moves through the book—becoming both observer and participant in various scenes—they perform the eighth action and gain the possibility of transformation.
