The works of the second summer period were added to the existing ones new nodes-objects, which generally disciplined the entire cycle and revealed general topographic structure presence of a route: with entry and exit points, intermediate stopping places.

Installing a route into the landscape, in a general configuration  cycle, the organic compatibility and appropriateness of all its elements was revealed. The inclusion of an end-to-end semantic circulation codifies the “Gate” as an entrance to the system, “Passage” as direction indicator, oriented towards the “Exit” opening, “Exit” as the end of the route, then the exit from systems on a thinned field with a three-row “Layers” object.

“Village Park” 2010 and “Route” 2011 united together envelops like a cloud the route placed inside, which attracts the objects surrounding it - the “Gate”, “Tent”, “Passage”, “Thorn”, “Staircase”, “Well”, “Exit”, “Layers”.

A system of objects demonstrating the flow of modes distances: approaching and moving away, increasing and decreasing, magnetizes the gaze and the attention of the viewer who finds himself inside their gravitational field.

"Entering-intimacy"*, the approach becomes a realization of the path specified in the route.

The movement along the route winds through the system of objects and at the end, crossing the exit opening, leads to lumen (Lichtung), in free, cleared space with layered  into it with a three-row final  "Layers" object.

In this symbolic space the final exit takes place beyond the inner cloudiness and returning to clear visibility of the outer.

The project was implemented jointly with Alexander Arfeev.
