Kiev, Bolshaja Jytomerskaja Street, Pejzashnaja avenue



Multimedia open-air installation Flamma intus




The architectural composition, which consists of one large and twelve small white sterile pyramids, is placed in lowland for the best acoustic effect and for the integral viewing by contrasting with the natural landscape of the reserve.

The snore in the big pyramid and sounds of animals in small are symbols of the civilization fall into the dream.

The Greek translation, "pyramid" means “fire inside”. Ancient pyramids were constructed in places of concentration by fire. They had been intended to become the spiritual centers of a civilization. The installation in the city environment “Fire inside” consists of pyramids - which are the symbol of the form and the content, a body and the soul.




The project is created with support of Collection Gallery

The project is implemented in the most picturesque place of Kiev - in architecturally-historical reserve's "Ancient Kiev" territory. The green zone passing in ravines and hills with a picturesque panorama of three historical mountains, named in honour of founders of city and orthodox images of the deities of a thunder, fire and the sun - Kyi, Schek and Khoryv.

When night falls, the pyramids wake up - the sound of their snores are substituted by a composition from Zavoloka. The small pyramids become red, and the sides of the big pyramid are filled with dynamical laser red - ultra-violet abstraction (the beginning and the end of a light spectrum), which recreates a crystal structure of a substance and allows unlimited space for individual interpretation. The authors address to model of times of Revival and specify necessity of the person-creator, but in modern ways.
