The procedural rhetoric of the project appeals to Boris’s thesis Groys, set out in his article “Russia as the subconscious of the West”, in particular, to to the following: “A specific feature of the Russian discovery of the subconscious is, in first of all, the fact that here is like a code of the subconscious, like a place differentiation arises country, geography, spatio-temporal configuration..."

The Russian space, which includes all related components, is being considered like a dimensionless region of the unconscious, like  receptacle for numerous  repressed phenomena, which can be subjected to proper psychoanalytic therapy.

Wrapping is a sequential stage of fragmentation of the environment, its detection discrete areas. The selection of one or many objects in everyday environment, accompanied by their short-term isolated preservation for potential movement. Wrap is considered as a primary symptom of the seizure procedure, land surveying is potentially vacant place to restore normative functioning.

Bringing a border into the transformation zone marks the emptying of the released volume in space neurotic artifacts.

Covering with film  codified as resistance repressed object. Conservation of an object in a censored landscape is a preparatory stage the process of pupation, self-immersion, closure of the shell.

 Diagnostics aimed at removing  tension, turns into a therapeutic intervention that eliminates amnesia in traces of the seized object. The resulting complex triggers a mechanism for reducing pressure and returning to the surface - into the area of consciousness.

Thus, the entire process accompanying the wrapping is considered as a transfer to unconscious and vice versa.

Separately makes sense mention extended interpretation for some objects. Wrapping process refers us to a cosmetic procedure designed

serve health improvement body, its rejuvenation, symbolic reset of the counter,

 to return to the beginning of the life cycle with preserving the fullness of the experience.

The project was implemented jointly with Alexander Arfeev.
