"MAGIC GARDEN"
(1991)

The approaching collapse of the USSR made us staggering too. In order to attract public attention to our works we ventured large-scale experiment. One summer night in 1991, all the lamps in public garden near to our studio were switched off. The air was filled with exotic birds cries (transmitted by the loudspeakers on the trees). They were echoed by the ringing colored fruits (Chinese lanterns) hanging down the branches. The building of Pedagogical Institute, close to the garden, served as a base for power green and red lasers (2 W and O.5 W correspondingly) which were shooting the area through. Another laser, placed on the top of Aircraft Institute, depicted Micky-Mouse image on the facade of University building above the garden. The experiment was repeated during three nights, driving the people crazy.

To tell the truth, just that amateur midnight performance made the city authorities reconstitute the renewed city studio "Prometheus".
