This incredibly beautiful and visually light hall is dedicated to the film The Needle by Rashid Nugmanov.
The participation in this film gave Tsoi the love of the people.
There are storyboards of the film
on the wall and huge plastic transparent
snowballs with a white figure of Tsoi –
Moro inside.
The scenography of the exposition
is built on the intersection
of the same poles as in the cinema

From the beautiful desert we find ourselves
in a snowy park, where the final scene
of the film unfolds.

The wounded Moreau dissolves into the darkness
of a winter evening. We do not know anything
about his future fate.

The central composition of the hall was the installation Snowball Memento Moro by the Doping Pong art group. We decided to support the installation with absolutely weightless white light.
Dotted figures created soft dissolving shadows all over the “winter” part of the hall.
