Public art project “Swindle”
Public art program “CHO”, Ekaterinburg, 2023
Inflatable toys made of PVC are created for joy and pleasure during your summer holiday by the water. But at the end of their life, they become unnecessary waste. The "swindle" is made from hand-upcycled toys like these. The resulting multi-colored compositions, similar to gasoline stains on water, are a sign of “swindle.” He points out the false availability and safety of both PVC toys and city rivers, as well as the sad consequences for our lives and the environment from our indifference and negligence. Made from recycled toys, The Swindle also celebrates the power of transforming even the most challenging situations into something beautiful and inspiring.
