The project is dedicated to researching the process of the urbanization of provincial life, wherein the city emerges through the everyday practices of consumption, communication, and self-organization.
The room’s space becomes a model of social shift. Rural lifestyles are gradually being restructured under the influence of urban infrastructure and digital services.
At the center of the work is Antonina, a pensioner whose image is constructed through a system of objects. Traditional items from a rural home coexist with technology, packaging, packaged goods, and mass-produced commodities. This juxtaposition captures a transitional state where the domestic is replaced by the consumer, the local by the networked, and live interaction by digital connection.
The work engages with the tradition of installation as a space of traces and the reconstruction of private life. The absence of the human draws attention to the material facts of their daily existence—objects become carriers of social change, illustrating how urban logic subtly permeates the intimate space of the home.
