Sasha Sergienko+
An artist assigns the ability of daily life to engage with "new romanticism' phenomena. In order for this to happen, it's necessary to experience true belief with the whole spectrum of positions, to gain sensory receptivity for events from the past and upcoming future. Retrospectiveness in the present moment, sentimentalism and self-irony are the attributes that his works carry on.
For his Aum Mani Padme Hum, Sasha Sergienko (place and year of birth) explores meditation and daydreaming. The work consists of two A3 papers on the wall, mentioning the title of the work, which is the most frequently quoted mantra in Tibetan Buddhism. Half of our life is spent in some sort of daydreaming. Sergienko proposes to use that time to meditate instead in order to eliminate daydreams entirely, acknowledging that this wouldn’t leave much time for anything else than cooking, eating and washing.
