Perfomance. Museum of the St. Petersburg Avant-garde, Matyushin House Museum. During Museum Night in May 2014, Gleb Ershov as a curator organized an action called "Seven Ways to Look at a Miracle" at the Museum of St. Petersburg avant-garde, Matyushin House Museum. I created the performance Soap is a Bastard for this program. About a ton of 72% laundry soap was dropped from the construction tour. The soap, along with the toura, came crashing to the ground. Sitting on the soap tour and leaning against a tree, I made the soap tour fall, while I myself remained "floating" in an electric halo and work clothes, due to the support of a system of blocks and ropes. The performance was realized during the transformation of the band Soap, or rather its disintegration, so we can say that the title and the action are autobiographical in nature.
