Description from http://gregoryorekhov.com/works/projects/nowhere 

 

"Historically, the red carpet has carried a ceremonial meaning — the path of the winners. Since the time of Agamemnon, the red carpet has been laid out to welcome leaders and royalty, attributing them to a divine spark. Walking along Orekhov’s red canvas, the visitor finds oneself taking on the role of a ruler but in the end is too fascinated by the surrounding landscape. Orekhov emphasizes that the desire for fame, wealth and power is insignificant when it comes to the greatness of the universe and nature. However, “Nowhere” cannot be limited to one interpretation. The artist asks the audience the following question: where is the red line, the forbidden line that must not be crossed under any circumstances?"
