DaDim

 by Igor Muchin

Creative duo by Dasha Delone & Dima Shapiro

 They work in the technique of painting, sculpture, photography, installations and video. In their art works artists study time. In their minds time is like a pendulum moving forward and backward, not rectilinearly, rather cyclically, where memory returns time back, again and again. People are running inside this closed time cycle, unable to escape from it. Time comes back - in dreams, thoughts or through repetitions of the history in real life. For the artists and the characters of their art works, time is both symbolic and material. Time can be tough. Time can ruin lives. A person can be crushed by time, his memory can be distorted or half-erased. Time is ruthless. 
Every piece of works is permeated with the sense of time. The works are symbolic and make both viewers and characters follow the Time as if they follow after the Pied Piper of Hamelin. 
”DaDim do not offer any plot, the plot arises in the mind of the viewer through their personal experience, separately and individually from the others. 
The authors appeal to intelligible symbols, but they put them in a different context, and that simultaneously confuses and helps to immerse into that very own, independent plot. 
Artists really talk about time – but they do not talk about it directly, they create an impression of time, referring us to eternity.”
