Alternative
Alternative is an art installation created for a city festival in Neftekamsk, Russia. A decommissioned oil pump unit, 4.5 metres high and 6 metres wide, was reused as the base of the artwork. Detailed calligraphy in gold paint was applied over a black background, forming intricate letters that catch the sunlight. The installation stands in the station square, at the crossing of pedestrian and vehicle routes. The reuse of industrial equipment raises the theme of ecology and invites residents to see their city in a new way.
Alternative Art Installation by Dmitry Kudinov has been featured as an outstanding illustration of communication design by the A' Design Awards. Alternative Art Installation earned the Iron A' Design Award in Fine Arts and Art Installation Design in 2022. The A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design award that celebrates superior design of sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs, drawings, mixed media works, ceramics, art objects, craftworks and more.
