I am the wild strawberry meadow

“I am the accessible monument (it's pleasant to say "I" once in a hundred years) M. Bodakov, 2018

I am the wild strawberry meadow examines man's relationship with the passing of time through melancholy, surrendering to time and accepting its scars, reconciliation and the inevitable reckoning. For four hours, the artist subjects himself to direct sunburn, printing knitted lace with a pattern of strawberry leaves on his body. The project deals with the human-time-heritage relationship. The photographs show the beginning and the end of the work process and demonstrate (at least) two imprints – of the accumulated values of generations on the person and of physical time on the person. .
