Refine my ideas for research

Updated: Dec 15, 2023

I can't accept that people support the war. Therefore, I want to understand this issue and maybe I can help myself cope with this trauma. Besides this, as an artist born and raised in Moscow, I consider it my responsibility to do something about it. Therefore, the second topic of my research will be catharsis.




CONFLICT

Why do people support a war?


CATHARSIS

Can the viewer and artist become a better person through a bad or good experience?


Focus:

Conf. I need to consider the positions of three options for people - those who clearly support the war, those who do not support the war, but who believe that there is no other way out, and those who are indifferent.

Cat. Representation of the bad and "ugly" (death, murder and destruction) and the person will be better? OR surrounding a person with the beautiful, good and aesthetic (the question is what is this) and then the person will be better?


Questions of study:

Conf. Psychological justification, Biological causes of aggression, Patriotism/Nationalism, Propaganda

Cat. The influence of beauty and ugliness on a person and on the masses.


Methods of investigation:

Testing the above assumptions – (logical),

Creating illogical and emotional experiments and interpretations,

Finding a logical explanation for a specific phenomenon


Representation in my practice:

Through materials: they are controversial (materials for artists and debris), whole/broken, expensive and cheap, pure and remade, aesthetic and not, confrontation of materials, art forms, methods, compositions, crafts or emotions.

Through the working method: slow/fast, destruction and creation,

Through my reflection: Emotional component - synaesthesia, colour reaction to events, shape, form of materials, Logic work, accidental work
