Peter Belyi My Neighborhood, 2005 10 houses (made of slides, cardboard, hardboard, electricity) and texts, 260 x 320 cm »Model of a town made of ten objects: a school, medical centre, tall blocks of flats, nine-storey blocks and five-storey blocks (Khrushevki) and an art school all made from old slides, some of which are lit up and others which are opaque. Each house is itself a small object with its own name and story that relates to the only lit up window (Hermitage, first word, dust, Shostakovich, 1972, Vasilii Blazhennyi and so on.). Altogether this is a typical seventies Soviet neighbourhood, a so-called new-build area. An important task of the project is to capture the disappearing signs of soviet life in the eyes of my generation, the last that can understand them.« 36

Oliver Boberg Wald, taken from the series Nacht-Orte, 2002 16 mm on DVD, colour, sound, 30 min. loop, ed. 6 »An empty set, lit up for a film scene shot at night, only communicates with the viewer through the mise-en-scène. The model emphasizes the filmic parallel world. The works in the series Night Sites (Nacht-Orte) focus on our film reminiscences. The viewer is supposed to say: ‘I know that. From what film is that taken?’ Yet here we are not confronted with existing film footage but with models I have created in my studio that is only clichéd images for certain places in films. Here romantic experience once again comes to bear. I have a sort of mythic sensitivity for film locations. That is, the images convey the myth of film, the production process, the speed, the fame. The viewer knows that everything is artificial but is still unable to penetrate the image.« 37
