Olga Steinepreis
Fragile world (Series)
DESCRIPTION
"Fragile World" takes the viewer on a journey through a fragile, paper world that appears ideal and beautiful, but in reality is a world of illusion.
In this world, we have illusions that it is perfect and comfortable to live, raise children and dream of their bright futures. It has already been known for centuries that lighting even one match can signify the end of this world. The reflection is that these illusions can be destroyed at any time.
I created the series based on my observations of how events in the world have been developing over the past few years, when my perception of stability, reliability, and predictability of the world was shaken. We have already become used to not planning ahead, to living in the moment because we don't know how tomorrow will turn out.
