Bad Artist

On Monday, the #NeUyat exhibition opened with the support of the Swiss Embassy in Tashkent. It is being held in the @bonafact gallery space and will run until December 14. This is my second time participating in this exhibition. This year, I collaborated with my colleague, artist @alenayusupuva_ — together, as @uzartduo , we created the installation you see here. This is our joint project, through which we explore and express shared artistic ideas. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the @Nemolchi.uz team, who continue to shed light on the issue of violence and provide local artists with a space to speak out on this topic. This year, the exhibition became mobile for the first time — traveling to Samarkand and Fergana — and now you have the chance to experience it in Tashkent. Special thanks to @fotobox.uz for their hands-on support in creating the work. «The Weight of Silence» explores the invisible burden carried by those who have survived violence. A fragile, transparent shoe — a symbol of femininity and expectation — is filled with stones, each representing unspoken experiences, suppressed pain, and the heaviness of forced silence. The work shows how something outwardly delicate can hold immense weight, and how this weight becomes part of one’s daily existence when society chooses not to listen.

NAÏVE Description: The installation is a composition of three paper boats, resembling enlarged versions of classic origami. The central boat rises above the others, creating a hierarchy of images. The boats are made from old newspapers, wooden slats, cardboard, and children’s drawings, emphasizing the memory of the past and the cyclical nature of human history. Symbolism: • The paper boats represent the fragility of hope and attempts to mend a situation; they symbolize the contribution of the new generation in rethinking the problem of drought in the region. • Newspapers and magazines are voices from the past — records of stories, promises, and warnings that went unheard. Why Naive: • The fragility of paper and the very idea of making “rescue” boats out of it in the context of drought is an act of naive but sincere hope — a belief that even such a fragile gesture can make a difference. • Naivety here is not weakness, but rather moral courage — the courage to reject cynicism and carry a message of hope and responsibility through simple images. • Naive is a perspective without harsh layers of skepticism and ideology — a pure view, like that of a child. The installation is about rethinking the past, purification, and moving toward something new. It is naive — but conscious and mature. Final Message: The installation is not just an art object — it is a manifesto of responsibility and hope.

«Violence creates violence» The installation is in the form of a functioning wall clock, where instead of a dial, the silhouettes of one person experiencing a cycle of trauma and passing it on to their offspring over and over again. The clock is a time loop in which the victim of abuse gets stuck. 130*130cm #NeUyat#139documentarycenter
