Kir Esadov
The private diary of the nerd
20 November – 24 December 2010
Opening: 20 November / from 18.00 till 21.00
Place: “FotoDepartament” Gallery
Every teenager faces the moment when he realises how immense the world is, and how him – a single unit – is small in comparison. Going through formation of self, a 14-year-old, not quite grown up, you keep searching for your own personal space, an inaccessible corner, where it is possible to hide and fade away, and then all your worries and fears will seem less significant. And you are trying to understand whether you are in fact a good person and whether you’ve had a good start or a bad one, whether you are judged correctly by your peers, whether adults are telling you the truth. And what is right and what is left in this world.
Subjected to your own teenage soppiness you start a diary, yours and only yours, intimate space, locked from everything and everyone. And there you write the most sacred, the most insignificant in global sense stuff. The first kiss. The first fight. The first hair on your breast. The first cigarette smoked on a backyard of your school. All that adults do. And there are no more hostilities in the world.
But then something has gone wrong. Ribcage is growing inside. And your heart aches. And your feet refuse to cooperate. And your father is not coming back. And the world still isn’t as perfect, as you hoped it could be. And who is to blame – yourself? Who did you pray to? Why have they not yet given you the glory? Why haven’t they sung the song of hosanna? And the diary got old and there is nothing left in you. And you own nothing but 3 golden teeth and three hairs on your breasts. Remembering olden days you fill the last page of not such an important book anymore. Dear dead father,
the end.
