Artwork: EPISODE OF EXCITING REALITY TV SHOW

Mixed Media Art Work 14" by 40" - Mixed Media Art Silver Floating Frame By Sergey Kir

Description: In this artwork, I reinterpret the biblical idea of God’s omnipresence — the sense that the Creator is everywhere, constantly witnessing our lives and actions. I imagine New York City,  as an immense stage set. Every person becomes both actor and director of their own self-created reality show, performing within a world they actively shape through choices, desires, and beliefs.

I imagine the city is weaved into interconnected neuro-grids in order to capture the mechanism by which the omni-surveilance is conducted — symbolic pathways that carry our thoughts, information, longings, and prayers upward. To me, these glowing structures represent the invisible exchange between humanity and the divine: a continuous transmission of consciousness. I also allow myself a speculation. I imagine the Almighty watching this grand spectacle as one might watch an unfolding drama — perhaps with a glass of wine or a bag of popcorn — observing how we navigate moral dilemmas, how our judgments form, and how those judgments crystallize into action. Every ethical crossroad becomes a narrative turning point. Through the title, I express my conviction that we carry responsibility for the quality of our own “show.” I feel that our task is to make our lives compelling — filled with suspense, courage, ingenuity, and the strength to transform trauma into growth. For me, existence becomes a living performance: we create, we struggle, we evolve — and somewhere beyond, the Creator witnesses the story we choose to tell.

This art work has been exhibited during NYFW 2023 during a viral performance that went to more than a 1mm views on YouTube:
