The collective symbolic character created by Victor Sydorenko gives an abstract idea of instincts and human nature, of fear and despair, and of the disorientation of a person in the modern world. Sydorenko is one of the few artists who addressed the subject of a person in the post-soviet era and seeks to interpret it in different semantic presentations. In doing so, he attempts, on the one hand, to overcome the inertial individualisation of society, and, on the other hand, he is able to "travel" with the character beyond his own statement, offering a new interpretation of events: the cruelty and inevitability of time, the strange "intertwining" of individual human destiny with it. In the project “Millstones of Time”, presented at the 50th Venice Biennale, Sydorenko addressed, among other things, the personal trauma of being born into a family of deported migrants. Sydorenko’s contemporary protagonist continues to explore human boundaries: is there anything in the world that human beings fail to break?
