I’ve had so many interesting discussions with visitors of all ages. Two pensioners came to say hello because the curator, Larisa Skobkina, had mentioned the project on the radio. Oleg, Asya and Nastya, pictured here, are artists working in St Petersburg, although originally they are from the south of Russia. We spoke for a long time about questions raised by the project. What is the relationship between the local and the international? Will the films reveal the personal and individual characteristics of each place or will the films speak about the international? The project is in its early stages, so I don’t yet have answers to these questions. They are going to go away and make some films to send to me.
