The exhibition represents the final result of reflections on modernism and its unexpected, yet significant connection with archaeology. The exhibition's dramaturgy is based on the contrast between the "reconstructed past" and the "projected future." Here, viewers can see how the legacy of the past influences contemporary concepts and ideas, and how archaeology helps open new horizons for the future. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the influence of history on modernity and how we can use the lessons of the past to shape tomorrow.
Modernism, as a key cultural trend of the 20th century, perceived the future as a new, more progressive stage of societal development. In the Soviet version of modernism, special attention was paid to overcoming the past, which often led to the creation of a distorted, mirrored reflection of it. A brighter tomorrow, according to modernists, could only become a reality in the context of understanding and analyzing historical heritage.

Hearight is a feeling of longing for a home that is out of reach, or for a place that does not exist. The concept is derived from two Welsh words: hir, meaning long or far, and aeth, which translates as pain or sadness. Heeraith reflects the deep emotions and nostalgia people experience when thinking about lost or unattainable places. This state can be associated with personal memories, cultural identity, and the desire to return to a familiar atmosphere. In the modern world, this feeling is reflected in art, literature, and music, where authors explore themes of loss and the desire for native places.
The curators of the exhibition invited young artists from all over Russia to create art reflecting lost dreams and desired, but unrealized ideas. This is a unique opportunity for creative individuals to explore themes of loss and longing through the lens of their own perspective and experience. Reflecting on nostalgia creates an illusory world filled with fantasies and idealized memories. Despite its ephemeral nature, during difficult moments in life, people long to return to this non-existent space. Nostalgia becomes a solace, allowing us to escape reality and relive moments of happiness that may never have been as serene as we remember them. This process not only highlights our need for solitude, but also demonstrates the importance of being aware of our own feelings and experiences in the context of time.

A solo exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Sasha Kokacheva explores and rethinks traditional notions of time, memory, and nostalgia. In her works, Kokacheva uses a variety of techniques and materials to create unique visual images that immerse the viewer in a world of profound reflection. This exhibition is a significant event in contemporary art, drawing attention to current issues of the perception of time and its impact on human memory.
The exhibition title is based on a quote from the 1979 British television series "Sapphire and Steel," emphasizing the idea of English philosopher Mark Fisher that modernity represents "limbo." In this state, time simultaneously slows down and continues to move forward. This concept reflects modern society's complex relationship with the past and future, creating a unique space for reflection on current realities.
Sasha Kokacheva seeks to capture the unique feeling of "frozen time." She strives to convey in her works the atmosphere of a moment when time seems to stand still. This feeling allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation of every detail. Sasha Kokacheva's art inspires viewers to reflect on fleeting moments and eternity, creating space for personal interpretations and emotions. The artist uses images from her personal archive of family photographs. Her characters are featureless, yet create a sense of strange intimacy, reminiscent of ghosts of the past that surface in memory.

The exhibition is of interest to anyone who appreciates the art of photography and wants to better understand the historical context of the Urals.
Why Venya? Is it ethical to distance ourselves so closely from the memory of Veniamin Metenkov, the celebrated Yekaterinburg photographer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Perhaps not. However, one thing is certain: the exhibition's title and the display itself challenge traditional notions of memorialism and museum conservatism, as project curator Nastya Elizarieva notes.
