The British artist, originally from Samarkand, Uzbekistan, has already seen his monumental sculptures, dedicated to the transformation of the world, displayed in cities like London, New York, St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk. Safardiar boldly combines various materials and techniques in his works, with his signature style marked by the use of transparent elements. A multimedia installation with cosmic motifs, featuring Safardiar’s daughter as the central figure, draws particular attention. The video canvases depict her aging process, from an 11-year-old girl to an adult woman, surrounded by shifting futuristic forms that symbolize the changing nature of the world.

 The exhibition project «Second Ascent» dynamically reflects the state of continuous civilisational transformation - the dissolution of previous forms and connections, their further metamorphosis and reassembly. The idea of the project is realised in the static forms of original installations and sculptures, and further developed in large-format video canvases, linking the main visual and semantic motifs into a coherent concept.
