In their installation the artists tried to express the drama of a modern man. One is impossible to escape from a socially tightened mind. These rules and taboos are represented through the plastic bags put on the mannequin heads. This becomes symbo of liberty, equality and fraternity, the aesthetics and art, emotions and feelings. The person socially vaccinated in his childhood grows sluggish and hopelessly gray. Past, present and future stick together into a single chain of his external breathing, inhaling and exhaling. And it remains in sharp contrast with the grimace of choking person crying silently under the bag of time and society.
