At first it seems that there is a mistake made in the name of the installation. Everyone in Russia knows “Borodinsky Bread”, but a few people know Borodinsky coal outside of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. There is a small mining town in Siberia with a historical name of Borodino, which is directly related to the memorable battle of the Patriotic War of 1812; the town was founded by the soldiers who participated in that battle, and the soldiers sent here to establish a settlement after the well-known unrest in Semenovsky regiment. In the Soviet times, the Siberian town of Borodino became famous first and foremost for its open-pit coal mine, to the development of which, since the middle 1940s, were sent exiled Germans, Soviet soldiers who survived the fascist captivity, and other citizens who experienced the burden of Soviet justice. The installation acts as a memorial. The world which is long gone is still making its way — dreamlike and fragile — through this terrain, out of this coal. The coal here is not just a natural fuel, but also an archiving utility of nature preserving history.
