Description
Currently, when a person is no longer an artist, and is getting similar to the artwork; when the spiritual in art vanishes or is threatened with extinction, and when art constitutes «more than art», then «NEXUS-2222» is born. Actography «NEXUS-2222» opens a wormhole of space and time, detecting the movement of decreasing drapery, barely covered with synthetic loins of art.
