«Archaeology of Consciousness» by Dasha Delone, Dima Goryachkin / DaDim art duo and Vasilisa Delone.
 
The exhibition ‘Archaeology of Consciousness’ is based on the idea of diving into the deepest layers of human memory, perception and personal experience. The title of the project directly references the metaphor of archaeological discoveries: the artists invite viewers to explore consciousness not as a static state, but as a multi-layered cultural and emotional strata, where each layer preserves traces of the past, experiences and artefacts of thought.
 
Each work functions as an ‘artefact’ discovered during a process of symbolic exploration. The project encourages visitors to pause, engage in an inner monologue and interpret their own associations, transforming each visitor from a passive observer into a participant in a research expedition.
Within the context of the ‘Archaeology of Consciousness’ project, clay becomes a key medium for the creation of meaning, linking the concept of historical excavations with the malleable nature of human memory.
