Important factor is the purposeful interference in the culture of memory by the regime.
The 20th century, dominated by two destructive powers, the Soviet and the Third Reich, used the same tools to distort and erase the memory of the people.
The path from the physical act of depriving people of their rights and freedoms to the ultimate goal of destroying public collective memory.
In the project, I touch upon the issue of depersonalisation, suppression of personal opinion, and marking a person with a number.
It is a well-known fact that documents with a person's name are confiscated and given a number as a form of personal identification.
My inner pain and sadness for people who have been deprived of their rights and freedoms is formed in visual spots from archival envelopes, letters and portraits.
The number 15013 is the personification of a person without a name or surname, without a future, without the right to live.
