A new layer "NO WALLS" by the Russian artist Ivan Simonov appeared on the project WALL, changing the usual perception of the wall as a frame image.
"In a modern metropolis, a person is surrounded by walls, conventional barriers, and frames that limit the perception of the world and, consequently, thinking. In "Netsten" I break the usual perception of the wall and what lies behind it. A wall is a convention of perception, a given concept of limitations of human capabilities, but it is worth expanding it, transforming it, and we can see a completely different world. A world that was hidden behind a thick brickwork. By breaking the laws of the familiar, we discover something new, something we have not seen before, which is why the palindrome "Netsten" is used in the work, which can be read in the opposite direction, looking at the familiar and recognizable in a new way, "- says Ivan Simonov.
