“Every society produces its wonderful, but the” main meal “it is wonderful, established by his predecessors, former miracles. Wonderful – a contrast to the daily life routine and measured. ”
Jacques Le Goff
People have always believed in miracles. And today, in our rational and often pragmatic world, we continue to believe in a fairy tale, expect something extraordinary …. And especially for the New Year so want to happen something beautiful, magical … What you can expect the same magic today, among the glass skyscrapers, high-speed machines and computers? What once seemed like a miracle, was the subject of dreams, fantasies, has now become a familiar and understandable.
Literature has kept us examples of fantastic dreams. Vladimir Odoyevski wrote about “home newspapers,” where is stored and sent to the other information on people – a kind of modern social networks; Velimir Khlebnikov in the early 20th century had dreamed about the wonderful future of radio, which is a modern internet, will unite mankind …. A lot of what people dreamed of in the past, has long been an everyday and does not surprise us anymore. Or surprise? And if incorporeal, often crazy dream can become a part of reality, whether reality can be a fairy tale?
The exhibition “Wonderful everyday life” demonstrates a miracle of artistic thinking, perception and extraordinary human creativity. The world is full of wonders, we just have to take a closer look closely, This lamp is turned into a little girl from a plastic bottle fluttered angel bridge transported to the skies, and automobile tire turned into a beautiful picture …
