Alexey Krylov  

I have lived far from the big cities. I have traveled to distant places. From the Ural Mountains to the Arctic Circle. I have also known the rhythm of the corporation and the city. For years, I worked in advertising. I watched how to shape what people want to buy. 

I see a disconnect between the narrative of social media, reflecting the successful image of a modern metropolis and the attitude to life in remote areas. With every mile away from civilization, the dissonance increases. The world around me is changing, but the flow in my social networks remains the same.

Through the filter of this experience, I am looking for a fresh look on the theme of “new addictions” –uncontrolled purchases, emotional burnout from the need to be successful, endless reflection on Life Work balance and dopamine control.

In my work, I question is the mental problems with the furious rhythm of the modern view of success really important? I suppose that their importance is exaggerated.
