Dmitry Makhno
Tower of Chairs, 2025

Installation

V–A–C Sreda online magazine continues its three-month programme dedicated to air in art and culture.  In this issue, we present a work by artist Dmitry Makhno.

The Tower of Chairs installation recalls the childhood game of building a hideout from pillows and blankets. In an attempt to reach the ceiling, Makhno stacked stools into a towering structure and began to climb. Though the tower collapsed, the feeling of flight remained, and became the foundation for this project. Tower of Chairs becomes a metaphor for the overcoming of boundaries and striving to attempt the impossible.
