Russian kinetism

The artworks is framed.

The work has a high collection artvalue.

Kinetic art in the USSR was a continuation of experiments in a new direction, synthesizing traditional fine art with physics and philosophy. The "Movement" Group (1962 - 1976), which was engaged in the design of synthetic mysteries using the movement of light, three-dimensional elements, and film projections, was actively involved in kinetic effects.

In 1972, a limited edition was published in Germany - an album of works in the silk-screen printing / phototype technique “PortfolioGruppeBewegung 1972" (170 copies, of which 20 belonged to the authors), which presents philosophical and graphic experiments by Russian kinetists. Among them are several works by Galia (Galina Georgievna) Bitt.

So what do we see in this work? The cross is a traditional symbol of the universal principle, the creation of the world, a kind of cosmic mind, uniting the four main elements (earth, water, air, fire). An egg is also a symbol of origin, but also a sign of intermediateness - it represents the World Egg, which expresses an intermediate state between chaos and world order. It extends the four main elements to the fifth - ether, through which signals, waves, particles go in all directions, reflecting the nascent at the end 1960s string theory. This kind of visualization of the wave theory raises the question of the interaction of our world with other galaxies and as if affirms: “We are not alone in the Universe!”
