Installation “Flower garden on Sadovaya Street”,
Laboratory with citizens as part of the public art program “Street Morphology”
Tyumen, 2023
The fairy-tale installation was invented by the artist based on floral ornaments of wooden architecture and Ural-Siberian folk embroidery. The place for work was not chosen by chance; previously there was a wooden hotel of Fyodor Petrovich Loshkomoev here, and Dzerzhinsky Street itself, rich in historical monuments, used to be called Sadovaya. To create a large-scale work, Ulyana Rozina held a laboratory, inviting active citizens of all ages to take part in it. She invited residents to immerse themselves and knit/embroider with crochet or simply with their hands on the mesh surface of the fence plant associations with Tyumen, grandmother’s garden or childhood yard. The resulting ornament symbolizes the unity between nature and the urban environment, building a bridge between folk crafts and modern art.
