Description
I take control of my sublime experience from outside abstract control into my own hands. The outer control is religion, state, and government. for centuries external forces controlled what is forbidden and what was allowed, thus controlling my consciousness – what I think, enjoy, and what makes me feel awe or spiritually elevated. To develop into the state of post-human, I need to shed the old restrictive skin of current thinking. The object I am trying to control, the lost ship of my mind is in its own entity.

Director Biography - Boris Marinin
Multidisciplinary artist and curator Boris Marinin born in 1987 at the city of Moscow, Russia, Immigrated to Israel in 1997. Holds a BFA in Screen Arts, and MFA at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. His artistic process is influenced mainly by self-study, the practice of frustration and his psychoanalytic analysis. Artists Judith Sasportas, Joseph Beuys, Matthew Barney and musical genre Black Metal, inspired artistic decision and are an integral part of his developmental process.

In his art, Marinin tries to differentiate and capture the sublimity of nature using amorphous forms, that do not necessarily relate to the plain material world we know. With his analytical art, Marinin will take us through a journey where we will be exposed to the movement of nature, extinction and opportunity while, uncovering personal interpretations of the connection between an artist and an object in order to show us what lies behind our dimension. Boris Marinin is currently living and working in Vienna, Austria

Director Statement
I have always been considered an arcane foreigner, a psychopomp, feeling the ethereal tension. Breathing out, rather than holding air in. Passing beyond the veil. Observing many layers, like successive waves of water pushing each other. The ocean of under the physical.

I am calculating the ambivalence of a ponderous machine. Mentally reconstructing this ambiance as art piece. Navigating the existence, digging for information. This is the ability to fluently communicate in conceptual sense with those things that are essentially beyond the reach of the five material senses.

My art attempts to discern the nature of things through the use of intelligent ethereal forms, that are not necessarily communicating on the material plain. I use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Like a spirit of a warrior, who eats the flesh of his fallen foes in order to receive their properties. I communicate with the essence of the object in front of me. And manipulating myself so the object become alive.

There is a dog, who guards the entrance of the eridanus supervoid. In front of him there is our realm, Which have two layers: The first layer is simply above the earth and the second layer is the corpse of overwhelming sensitivity which exists beneath the earth.

My body is a mechanical construction, capable of caring for itself limited spans of time. I do not fear pain and the unknown. By drinking the ancient waters of Lethe, I forget correlationism. In order to turn into something which is still living yet resembles that which is dead. There is potential to lose yourself.
