The foundation of this mural in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is an archival photo of the Chekhov family, taken shortly before his trip to Sakhalin.
🔻He's about to turn 30, his brother, a painter, has recently passed away, and the question increasingly pops up in his mind - what will remain? After his brother - paintings, and after him?
🔻The journey through Siberia took 82 days. On Sakhalin, Chekhov spent several months taking the census, he interacted with practically everyone on the island, including the convicts. Then - a long sea journey through Vladivostok, Singapore, the Suez Canal. Upon his return, Chekhov stops collaborating with journals as a writer of feuilletons, and in the next 10 years, writes "The Seagull," "Uncle Vanya," and "Ward No. 6."
🔻The author of the street art work is Alexander Demkin, circles on the water and distortions of images are his signature technique, this work has it particularly symbolically.
The past, washed away by the rains of time.
