Metamodern Arts Festival Kyiv 2019

That of course is not my photoshoot because it is me on it. I asked @alexandra_krolikowski to shoot me with Alexander Bard. When I was 9-10 years old, the "Army of Lovers" band's poster hung over my desk, which provoked my father's great dissatisfaction. But the fact that the band was popular among my classmates kept the poster from being destroyed. In fact, my father even liked the "Army of Lovers" songs, but he feared that "gay propaganda" that our neighbors were talking about, could affect me.
During one of the events of the @metamodernarts Metamodern Arts Festival Kyiv I have met the founder of the "Army of Lovers" Alexander Bard. That day we changed places: he was the audience and I was the curator.
By the way, Alexander Bard's book "Digital Libido: Sex, Power and Violence in Network Society" is now waiting on my bookshelf, since the true story never ends and has a peculiar recurrence in the new forms.
