Katerina Belkina | Roadside Picnic (for all mankind), 2022

During the process of my work the landscape reminded me of an earthly, but at the same time of an anomalous limited zone. Roadside Picnic” by Strugatsky brothers. I red that novel when I was a child and it became one of my favourite books. While doing the work, I red the Picnic again and rewatched the Stalker movie by Tarkovsky. I wanted my own rendition, but I certainly loved the concept of the Stalker, where the heroes give up their desires, explaining that no one can fully understand and acknowledge their most intimate dreams.
