Zima Magazine | Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich

Gazelli Art House London hosted a live performance from artist Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich to draw attention to LGBTQI+ brutality in Chechnya, Russia.

 

"It has been 7 long years since I last showed a live performance in London. Therefore, it is especially exciting for me to present the project Temporary Monument No. 0, which should draw attention to the tragic events in Chechnya, where gays are beaten to death or go missing. The carpet in which I am wrapped is traditionally Muslim. It is intended for prayers, but besides this, there is a custom to wrap the dead in it. With the help of Temporary Monument No. 0, I hope not only to tell as many people as possible about what is happening in Chechnya, but also to raise funds for the victims to move to safe countries,” says the artist."
