Margo Sarkisova, "6769"

I am sharing moments of the opening of the project "6769"! Margo Sarkisova, "6769" - Photo 1


On 10/16/2020 something happened that I purposefully prepared for more than a year.

But it is felt that I have been going to this moment all my life.

Opening of my personal research exhibition "6769" in the municipal gallery!

 (Kharkov, Ukraine)


Shares personal and family history, transform experience and feelings into images, immerse a person in the context of the traditions of a very closed culture ... for me all this is a great honor and responsibility.  I am glad that I allowed myself to speak and share what is impossible to keep silent about.


Thank you very much to all the wonderful people who helped make 6769 a reality!

Concept text Maria Varlygina


                           6769 *


The “center of the world” is not one - in us, coinciding with our I. It is located in a kind of “triangle”, the tops of which are set by Culture, Others and, finally, our I.

                                       V. M. Rozin

 

To recreate oneself means not only working on oneself, transforming oneself, but also listening to Reality, freeing up a place to meet oneself, higher powers, God;  every effort is checked against the efforts of other forces and realities.

                           V. M. Rozin

 

The birth of a person is the prolongation of the race.  The human heart is a knot that linked the fate of the father and mother.  The heart feels the birth.


Margo Sarkisova says: "I am an Assyrian who was born in Ukraine."

Native culture as a force and as a trauma is a dual experience, the inner pulsation of the exhibition "6769".  Margot does not look into attractive and sublime book images, the nerve of her work is life, the “wrong side” of everyday life.


The ancient history of the Assyrian people excites the imagination with pictures of a disappeared kingdom, rich in mythology, but today it lives in fragments of culture scattered around the world.  Assyrian culture has turned into a complex entanglement of the fate of people who try to stick to their roots, not to lose their history, not to fade in time.  The artist's family also strives to preserve the traditional way of life, which is why a certain alienation and confusion in front of the "outside" world is born in it.


The nourishing and debilitating features of the native culture, the light and dark parts of the family chronicle of Margo Sarkisova, appear in melancholic, ambiguous stories.  She goes into her own imaginary space of images and symbols, where she can speak, find a form for absorbing experiences.

On the one hand, the artist states her exit from the circle of her own culture, not wanting to accept the whole burden of her traditions and orders, on the other hand, she cannot and does not want to break the connection with her native world.  Overcoming the automatism of the family way of life, constantly delving into his history: “Why is this so?  What does this mean? ”, Margot rediscover everything that has surrounded her since childhood, hurt and gave support.

 

Overcoming and accepting - two paradoxically complementary actions lead the artist.  With her existence, her personal existential experience, Margo Sarkisova poses the question: what is a personality for culture?

A child comes into the world and he is clean.  Further begins his chronicle of self-creation.

I'm going to look

You are always, everywhere, in everything. As manifestation of life, as investigation and observation, as acceptance and transmission
