SOLO EXHIBITION "CORPUS HERMETICUM"

" I DISCOVERED THAT I HAVE ALWAYS STUDIED THE MEMORY OF THE ARCHETYPICAL WORLD AND THAT I HAVE USED ALCHEMICAL SYMBOLISM IN MY WORK ALREADY FOR A LONG TIME WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF IT.THESE ELEMENTS ABIDED IN ME ,AND IT COULD NOT BE OTHERWISE BECAUSE I WAS BORN AND BROUGHT"
LOLITA TIMOFEEVA

"A SYMBOL ARISES WHEN THE IMAGE ASSUMES A REPRESENTING FUNCTION.
THEN DIFFERENTIATION OCCURS BETWEEN THE IMAGE AND ITS CONTENT.
THE IMAGE TURNS INTO THE FIRST UNIVERSAL ENTITY, I.E. A SYMBOL.
IN CONTRAST TO THE MYTHICAL IMAGES, A SYMBOL SERVES AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THINGS IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD AND IS A PART OF THE HUMAN MISSION AND RATIONALITY OF AN ANIMAL SYMBOLISING THE WORLD – GLOBUS INTELLECTUALIS."

A TEXT FROM THE BOOK
"ON THE WAY TO THE WESTERN NIRVANA – THROUGH LATVIA"
BY ROBERTS MUKS VALTERS AND RAPA PUBLISHERS", 2000.

.....ABOUT THE EXPOSITION "CORPUS HERMETICUM"..

A CONCEPTUAL SOLUTION – OF ALL THE ABOVE-MENTIONED CONTENT IN THE FORM OF A COMMENTING STYLE - THE LIME-TREE FRAMES OF ORIGINAL DESIGN PRESENT THE PRE-MATERIAL ESSENCE OF THE IDEA OF THE EXHIBITION TRANSFORMING 'THE MOON GOLD" INTO GENUINE GILDING BY APPLYING THE POLIMENT GILDING METHOD. THE FLASHES OF ILLUMINATION IN THE ENTIRE VISUAL DESIGN OF THE EXHIBITION PRODUCE A FANTASTIC BEAUTIFUL IMAGE OF THE EXHIBITION ABOUT THE IMMEMORIAL DREAM OF ALCHEMISTS – TRANSFORMING SIMPLE MATERIAL WORLD VALUES INTO THE SPIRITUAL CATEGORIES OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD.
