From the sounds of nature to street noise: "Amid Echoes" artwork at the "Legacy for the Future" exposition
The
National Centre RUSSIA is hosting the international exposition of young
artists, "Legacy for the Future." One of the most striking pieces is
"Amid Echoes" by Deng Zewen, symbolizing the swift progress of
society and time.
The artwork
consists of 196 telephone receivers, each telling its own story. Sounds of
nature, bustling city streets, fragments of conversations — all these elements
form a significant part of human memory. Visitors can engage with the art piece
closely — not just by looking but also by listening, evoking personal
associations.
In such a
way, the author of the work Deng Zewen wanted to remind us that many devices,
once groundbreaking technological innovations and initially existing only in
bold imaginations, will one day vanish. Such is the fate of landline telephones
with their receivers and cords that will vanish into the past. However, this
does not mean that the connections between people will also be forgotten.
Other works
and their meanings can be discovered by visiting the "Legacy for the
Future" exposition. This large-scale project by the National Centre RUSSIA
supports the idea of a multicultural dialogue about the future of the world,
placing humans at its heart.
The
exposition features works by young artists from six countries: Russia, China,
India, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Iran. Through their creations, the artists reflect
on contemporary challenges, express their perspectives on past events, and
contemplate the future.
Guests of
the National Centre can explore the exposition independently or join free
guided tours lasting 30 or 60 minutes. Registration is available on the website
under the "Events" section.
