Oleg Semenovykh:
“All motorists have a ritual that is socially embedded – cleaning the car during (or after) heavy snowfall. On the morning of December 2019, I enacted a performance – clearing snow from eight cars in the early morning in the courtyard of my apartment building.

The mechanical nature of this kind of activity sometimes opens up an unexpected stream of thoughts and sensations. There is a moment after which the hands and head work separately, by themselves, you do something with your hands, and your thoughts are in a completely different place".
