The site-specific installation is built on contradictions. Sensual experience of being and indifferent calculation. According to statistics, 90% of the data existing now in the information space were produced in the last 2 years. Every day new symptoms of information overload are discovered. Truth in the stream of noise becomes barely visible, it becomes more and more difficult to analyse "true" or "false" ideas. Disorderly consumption of news leads to information blindness. The main task of the thinking individual is to escape from the affective impact and manipulation of new media on consciousness.

A transparent curtain fastened with screws shows the accessibility of information, a sense of freedom of choice at a first glance, but also the impossibility of accessing the truth and verifying its veracity. Control of information flow, creation of only biased materials for media space, all this is a tool for gradual change of citizens' personality and is also a mechanism for controlling the general opinion. We live in an age of illusion of information availability. Security is also an illusion.

In the installation, the artist uses a completely emotionless graphic element/chart, which is an example of our perception of statistical, emotionless data. If you look closely, you will notice the inscription Cargo-200, as well as coffins in the upper perspective, which is a senseless, dry counting of dead soldiers. Mass casualties have become mundane, and people in turn see everything as statistics and counting. It is also a reference to the architectural plans of concentration camps, neat and precise, looking at which it is impossible to believe in the cruelty taking place in the recent
past, as well as in the reality of those events. The human past, and such artefacts, are sources of information about what we can do to other people. Our fears are not always the same as what is truly horrifying.

The next element of the installation is a funeral ribbon on which is written "language issue" in Ukrainian and Russian, which is also a reference to a rather discursive topic in Ukraine. For some it is important, but in my opinion such divisions in society only separate and distract from the main thing. Also the pressure on people's freedom of choice is a dangerous tendency and spoils the healthy internal climate of society and creates a space of fears. There are many such examples in different societies. Appealing to emotions rather than thinking is a standard technique aimed at blocking people's ability to analyse rationally, as well as their ability to think critically about what is going on. The so-called collective unconscious leads to exaggeration of potential harms and escalation of conflicts.
