Topic of the exhibit
The search for the ideal form stated in the title of the exhibit is a process of finding answers to questions: what is the ideal form of peace within and around us, the form of our interaction with others and with us, the form of body and spirit? Levi’s global campaign I Shape My World is designed to bring together women from around the world — different races, religions, ages and social strata. Risk, break stereotypes, break the rules, it’s the only way you can make the world the way you want it to be.
Natasha
Daniel’s Dwinsky «Natasha» project is a series of graphics in the format of «music cards». Daniel Dwinsky has been developing his own image language and space mythology for several years.
Run, Runyan
Ekaterina’s Titova’s «Run, Runyan» project is inspired by the fate of Marla Ranyan, the three-time U.S. running champion. At an early age, an athlete began to lose sight, but the doctors' predictions and the scepticism of the sports community did not stop her.
A spy with a conscience.
Daria Lukas, «Spionka with conscience», is the institution that is familiar with the story of Edith Tudor-Hart, a secret agent of Soviet intelligence in the United Kingdom, who has been able for years to provide the USSR with useful information and to create the legendary «Cambridge Five» of KGB agents.
Work
Twenty-two students from the ICU School of Design participated in the project. Their work was presented in the form of installation, documentation of performances, copyrights, video and sound art, interactive objects and games. All the works were created specifically for the exhibition.
Mermaid
In their work, «Rusalochka» Love Donkov and Katerina Muha reveal the myth of the mermaid as an allegorical of women’s sensitivity and ability to transform.
