The topics Yegor raises in his artistic creations are history and memory, language and speech, influence of communication media on what is to be communicated. While being in the residence Yegor is planning to focus on field recording of different locations of Uktus hills (as a content) and on the work with magnetic film (as form and material).
Being a qualified historian, Yegor Klochikhin does not seek objectivity, neither knowledge nor perception. "The medium is the message" – the fundamental statement of Marshall McLuhan – literally works for the artist. When the sound recorded on an old tape is being reproduced, it drags a tail of crackles, hiss, hum. Likewise, natural sounds never play by themselves, separately, they exist in their own organic hierarchy.
At the residence, Yegor Klochikhin (Foresteppe) made field recordings of the Uktus region. As a result, there emerged an interactive sound portrait of the area.
