Our entire life
is struggle. It could take form of a simple fight on the boxing arena
or be the struggle for daily bread (or vegetable) in the Soviet times
when, after a long standing in line at a greengrocer, accompanied by
cheerful songs from а loudspeaker, they always strived to short-weight
you on the rinky-dink dirty scales with rusty weight pieces. In this
installation, a viewer is given an opportunity to take the situation
under control – by moving weights from scale to scale, to change the
song, to reach a desired balance and even, possibly, to come off
victorious out of the fight with the vendor who, with each withheld
gram, undermined the struggling Soviet consumer.
