Project result
The dialogue of artists reveals the cultural and social features of self-isolation caused by the coronavirus epidemic around the world. A painting sketch and a finished painting work were chosen as the fixation format. Every day, the artists published their work on Facebook and Instagram, which turned the project into a public online diary, which was joined by a wide audience of social networks. The artists had a daily dialogue, sharing their news and experiences. The format of the online diary turned out to be an accurate hospital card, meticulously recording the authors every day. Since the start of the project, the difference in the themes of the authors' works has become obvious, if Potapov refers to internal experiences and everyday scenes of everyday life, then Bornstein perceives isolation as the loss of former social ties and external contacts. Potapov rediscovers things and objects in his apartment, which were previously an indistinguishable homogeneous background for him. He calls it the new forced materialism. Bornstein records his Skype conversations with relatives left behind in France.
A distinctive feature of the project from many other works on this topic was its duration - 97 days of daily recording. Day by day, the authors describe their conditions and experiences. In places, the online diary resembles an entry in a logbook.
A total of 147 works were completed.
• Potapov - 95 works, sizes 25x35 cm, 18x24 cm, 25x35 cm. Material: oil, canvas on cardboard, cardboard, paper.
• Bornstein - 52 works. dimensions 29x21.5 cm. Material: paper, acrylic. Less work is due to the fact that on May 26 the quarantine was lifted in Berlin, where Emmanuel lives, in connection with which the project was terminated on his part.

Project announcement:
Our new way of life is dictated by well-known circumstances - the coronovirus pandemic. This has never been and never will be like before. We (I am a Russian artist from Moscow and Emmanuel Bornstein a French artist from Berlin) decided to start a daily dialogue on Instagram and Facebook. It is important for us to live this time, to feel all its fears, despair and hopes. We will document our every day, we will do it in the way that we do best - painting. An online diary is a chronicle of isolation, immersed in domestic life, in inner experiences and understanding of what is happening outside.
Every day we prepared one work and on the same day we published it on Facebook and Instagram, accompanying the publication with a comment about how and why this work appeared.
The project started on March 20, 2019, when a lockdown was announced in both Moscow and Berlin. Officially, the lokdan closed in Berlin after 52 days, in Moscow - after 95. Thus, 147 works were created during the project.
The project "Chronicles of Loneliness" took place as a result of the interaction of two authors, whose creative positions and preferences were very close. Regular correspondence between the authors resulted in an Internet project caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Prerequisites
- the difference in the cultural and artistic context of the authors, which allows you to build a dialogue from different points and pictorial parallels
- the proximity of artistic positions, both authors in their work relate both to great history and to a private family
- the choice of painting as the main medium - both authors choose painting as the main artistic medium
- understanding the historical significance of the coronavirus epidemic and its consequences
- understanding the online diary format for fixing global changes as the most accurate and impartial

CHRONICLES OF ISOLATION
(1 - 45 days)
(1 - 45 days)
DAY 1
Emmanuel, today I was told that the pasta will be delivered after 19:00 in the shop. I'll go and check it out. But the toilet paper is gone ((
Every work daily
was accompanied by a comment

i
DAY 2
Today is the birthday of my sons Vanya and Bogdan, they are 9 years old) Therefore, today, as part of our project with Emmanuel Bornstein "Chronicles of Isolation", I publish drawings of my guys, because even today we will draw.
i
DAY 3
I study painting from this album, although I have known all the authors for a long time. When my brain is overloaded with information, I turn on the PlayStation - this is an easy way to get distracted and return attention to its former tone. I often abuse it and break any deadlines, but I don't really regret it) In addition, such a hobby brings me closer to children. Emmanuel Bornstein, take note)
i
DAY 4
82-year-old David Hockney recently wrote the work "Remember, they can not cancel the spring", dedicated to the coronovirus. In our Russian realities, it is impossible to imagine this without Colorado beetles, so I had to finish painting. Dear Emmanuel Bornstein, you must understand this.
i
DAY 5
Emmanuel Bornstein, could not stand it, ate the first can of stew prepared that very day. He climbed into the cabinet with provisions, opened it, mixed it with hastily cooked pasta and sharpened it.
Six months after publication, the manufacturer of this stew contacted me (I don't know how he found out about this work), thanked me and gave me a box of stew))

i
DAY 6
Dear Emmanuel Bornstein, I have good news - the Russian Orthodox Church has approved a special prayer against the coronavirus. And the monks of the Vysoko-Petrovsky Monastery decided to hold daily religious processions with a prayer for deliverance from the coronavirus around their monastery until the end of the outbreak.
i
DAY 7
Emmanuel Bornstein I made this still life because I wanted to escape and take refuge in academic discourse... something came up today...
i
DAY 8
Emmanuel Bornstein I started this work a few days ago and have just finished. This work is a kind of cross-cutting experience.
i
DAY 9
The objects of everyday life are imperceptible and trivial, but they form the fabric of my existence. It's only now that I'm starting to notice them.
i
DAY 10
I continue to explore my apartment. Is this my indoor Sun or whatever I have on the ceiling)
i
DAY 11
That's what happened - I fell asleep during the day, and when I woke up, it was already dark and I could not understand whether it was evening or already morning. And my body was deaf, blind and dumb, because its entire navigation system is overloaded with online learning for children, homework)
i
DAY 12
The help of this asexual creature cannot be overestimated today.
i
DAY 13
Do not disturb - painting!
i
DAY 14
Today my self-portrait looks like this!
i
DAY 15
Yesterday I got out of my prison. Walked down the street behind three patrol boys who were discussing a kite fight between prisoners and guards from the Gulag archipelago. It was amazing!
i
DAY 16
I teach my sons.
i
DAY 17
Artistic antiseptic looks like this.
i
DAY 18
I collected all the kitchen appliances, there were 16 of them. And I have only one Walter Benjamin. In 1926, he visited Moscow and wrote in his diary "There are countless shops and even more merchants who, apart from a basket of apples, tangerines or peanuts, have nothing. An abundance of bread and other pastries: buns of all sizes, pretzels and , in pastry shops, very lush cakes." Friends, let it be forever!
i
DAY 19
I got to the bathroom, to my Moidodyr) In the Temple of Solomon, a shell with a diameter of 5 meters and a weight of 33 tons was found, I have a smaller one)
i
DAY 20
Almost every day I pass near the neighboring house, grandmother Nina always sits at the entrance. I didn't get her yesterday. I hope she's all right.
i
DAY 21
Objects acquire a new essence in my intra-apartment existence. This is a new materialism, redundant and forced.
i
DAY 22
I continue to explore the objects around me. I'm trying to look inside the scissors.
i
DAY 23
Tea with pliers. Today, when many things are shattered, absurdism can act as compensation and thus withstand the pressure caused by new circumstances.
i
DAY 24
Found an old plastic cup. There was nothing inside.
i
DAY 25
Popular culture has ridiculed and discredited the skull and death itself. But today, even the academic plaster skull has regained its original meaning. Vanitas 2020.
i
DAY 26
Not only are objects perceived in a completely different way, they also change - today the teapot broke. I'll try to fix it, find some video on youtube how to fix it and do it)
i
DAY 27
Went outside. This Zhiguli is still standing in the neighboring yard. Looks like he'll outlive us all)
i
DAY 28
Inventory of the local janitor Kayum from Uzbekistan. This is a plastic canister, cut in half diagonally and fixed on a pole like a flag) Today, their work is also not noticeable, but has become even more valuable.
i
DAY 29
Found a jar of change that I've been collecting since 2008. Amazing meaninglessness in these coins, except for the weight, there is no value in them) Once every few years I went to the store with sagging pockets to amuse the cashiers).
i
DAY 30
We have begun to change the street tiles. The next day, children's toys appeared in the sand at the work site. So childish spontaneity struggles with bureaucratic bacchanalia)
i
DAY 31
We are in quarantine, but we must not forget that spring is in the yard)
i
DAY 32
I started decorating my apartment.
i
DAY 33
Gathered my intellectual ammo.
i
DAY 34
Today I dreamed of an English breakfast. I imitated it with doctor's sausage, scrambled eggs and sliced loaf)
i
DAY 35
The neighbor's car has been standing for a month. The wheels were blown off, debris accumulated under the car.
i
DAY 36
My grandmother taught me to drink boiled water. When I make tea for myself, I always pour the rest of the water in the teapot into this jug, which then cools down and I drink it.
i
DAY 37
Another short walk. These wells always reminded me of dental fillings)
i
DAY 38
Such a castle could become a symbol of our days, but it persistently reminds me of a planet with its own orbit
i
DAY 39
The tire, equipped for a flower bed in a neighboring yard, always makes me tender. Some affirmation of life in this can be seen today)
i
i
DAY 40
Today I saw how the patrolmen detained a young couple, and besides that, the taxi driver refused to take me because I did not have a digital pass.
i
DAY 41
The water readings were sent late (
i
DAY 42
Sometimes the city appears as a pure geometric abstraction, especially when passing by cooperative garages.
i
DAY 43
A night walk constantly encounters such food beacons.
i
DAY 44
The sons created a superhero costume out of cardboard, which they were going to throw away, I never even helped them) Then they discovered that the costume looked like a hare)
i
DAY 45
Fences of garage cooperatives today acquire new meanings)
i
ДЕНЬ 1
Изучаю живопись по этому альбому, хоть всех авторов знаю уже давно. Когда же мой мозг перегружается информацией я включаю PlayStation - это простой способ отвлечься и вернуть внимание в прежний тонус. Часто злоупотребляю этим и срываю любые дедлайны, но не сильно жалею об этом) Кроме этого, такое увлечение сильно сближает с детьми. Emmanuel Bornstein, возьми себе на заметку)
ДЕНЬ 8
Эммануэль, сегодня в магазине мне сказали, что макароны привезут после 19:00. Пойду проверю. А туалетной бумаги уже нет ((
ДЕНЬ 2
Сегодня день рождения моих сыновей Вани и Богдана, им исполняется 9 лет) Поэтому сегодня в рамках нашего проекта с Emmanuel Bornstein "Хроники изоляции" я публикую рисунки моих ребят, потому что даже сегодня мы будем рисовать.
Предметы ежедневного быта незаметные и тривиальные, но формирующие ткань моего существования. Только сейчас я стал их замечать.
ДЕНЬ 3
ДЕНЬ 4
82-летний Дэвид Хокни на днях написал работу "Помните, они не могут отменить весну", посвященную короновирусу. В наших российских реалиях представить такое без колорадских жуков невозможно, поэтому пришлось дорисовать. Дорогой Emmanuel Bornstein ты должен это понимать.
ДЕНЬ 5
Emmanuel Bornstein, не выдержал, съел первую банку тушёнки, приготовленной на тот самый день. Залез в шкаф с провиантом, вскрыл, смешал с наспех приготовленными макаронами и заточил.
ДЕНЬ 6
Дорогой Emmanuel Bornstein, у меня хорошие новости - Российская православная церковь утвердила специальную молитву против коронавируса. А монахи Высоко-Петровского монастыря решили ежедневно проводить крестные ходы с молитвой об избавлении от коронавируса вокруг своей обители до окончания вспышки заболевания.
ДЕНЬ 7
ДЕНЬ 13
Emmanuel Bornstein я сделал этот натюрморт, потому что захотелось сбежать и укрыться в академическом дискурсе... что-то навалилось сегодня...
Emmanuel Bornstein я начал эту работу несколько дней назад и только что закончил. Эта работа - какое-то сквозное переживание.
ДЕНЬ 9
Предметы ежедневного быта незаметные и тривиальные, но формирующие ткань моего существования. Только сейчас я стал их замечать.
ДЕНЬ 10
Вот что произошло - уснул днём, а когда проснулся, то было уже темно и я не мог понять вечер сейчас или уже утро. А мой организм был глух, слеп и туп, потому что вся его навигационная система перегружена онлайн обучениями детей, домашней заданиями)
ДЕНЬ 11
Не беспокоить – живопись!
ДЕНЬ 12
ИВЛ. Помощь этого бесполого существа сегодня невозможно переоценить.
ДЕНЬ 14
Сегодня мой автопортрет выглядит так!
ДЕНЬ 15
Вчера вышел из своего заточения. Шел по улице за тремя мальчиками патрульными, которые обсуждали бой на воздушных змеях между заключёнными и охранниками из архипелага ГУЛАГа. Это было удивительно!
ДЕНЬ 16
Учу сыновей.
ДЕНЬ 17
Художественный антисептик выглядит так.
ДЕНЬ 18
Собрал все кухонные приборы, их оказалось 16. А Вальтер Беньямин у меня один. В 1926 году он побывал в Москве и записал в своем дневнике "Здесь бесчисленное количество магазинов и еще больше торговцев, у которых, кроме корзины с яблоками, мандаринами или земляными орехами, ничего нет. Изобилие хлеба и другой выпечки: булочки всех размеров, кренделя и, в кондитерских, очень пышные торты." Друзья, пусть так все и остается)

ДЕНЬ 20
Почти каждый день я прохожу возле соседнего дома, у подъезда там всегда сидит бабушка Нина. Вчера я ее не застал. Надеюсь с ней все в порядке.
ДЕНЬ 21
Предметы обретают новую сущность в моём внутриквартирном существовании. Это новый вещизм избыточный и вынужденный.
ДЕНЬ 22
Продолжаю исследовать окружающие меня предметы. Пытаюсь заглянуть внутрь ножниц.
ДЕНЬ 23
Чай с плоскогубцами. Сегодня, когда многое оказывается расшатанно, абсурдизм может выступать компенсацией и так противостоять давлению, вызванному новыми обстоятельствами.
ДЕНЬ 24
Нашел старый пластиковый стакан. Внутри ничего не оказалось.
ДЕНЬ 25
Массовая культура высмеяла и дискредитировала череп и смерть как таковую. Но сегодня даже академический гипсовый череп вернул себе свое первоначальное значение. Ванитас 2020.
ДЕНЬ 26
Малого того, что предметы воспринимаются совсем иначе, так они еще и меняются - сегодня сломался чайник. Попробую починить, найду какой-нибудь ролик на youtube как отремонтировать и сделаю это)
ДЕНЬ 27
Вышел на улицу. В соседнем дворе по-прежнему стоит этот жигуль. Кажется, что он переживет нас всех)
ДЕНЬ 28
Инвентарь местного дворника Каюма из Узбекистана. Это пластиковая канистра, разрезанная пополам по диагонале и закрепленная на древко, как флаг) Сегодня их труд также не заметен, но стал еще более ценным.
ДЕНЬ 29
Нашел банку с мелочью, которую я собираю с 2008 года. Удивительная бессмысленность в этих монетах, кроме веса никакой ценности в них нет) Раз в несколько лет ходил с отвисшими карманами в магазин повеселить кассиров).
ДЕНЬ 30
У нас начали менять уличную плитку. На следующий день на месте работ в песке появились детские игрушки. Так детская непосредственность борется с чиновничьей вакханалией)
ДЕНЬ 31
У нас карантин, но не нужно забывать, что на дворе весна)
ДЕНЬ 32
Начал декорировать квартиру.
ДЕНЬ 33
Сегодня мне приснился английский завтрак. Я сымитировал его докторской колбасой, омлетом и нарезным батоном)
ДЕНЬ 34
Сегодня мне приснился английский завтрак. Я сымитировал его докторской колбасой, омлетом и нарезным батоном)
ДЕНЬ 35
Машина соседа стоит уже месяц. Колеса сдулись, под машиной накопился мусор.
ДЕНЬ 36
Моя бабушка приучила меня пить кипяченую воду. Когда я готовлю себе чай, то остатки воды в чайнике я всегда сливаю в этот жбан, которая позже остывает и я ее пью.
ДЕНЬ 37
Еще одна краткая прогулка. Такие колодцы всегда мне напоминали зубные пломбы)
ДЕНЬ 38
Такой замок мог бы стать символом наших дней, но он мне настойчиво напоминает планету с собственной орбитой
ДЕНЬ 39
Покрышка, оборудованная под цветочную клумбу в соседнем дворе, всегда вызывает у меня умиление. Некоторое утверждение жизни в этом можно разглядеть сегодня)
ДЕНЬ 40
Сегодня видел как патрульные задержали молодую пару, а кроме этого, таксист отказался меня везти, потому что у меня не было цифрового пропуска.
ДЕНЬ 41
Показания воды отправил с опозданием(
ДЕНЬ 42
Иногда город предстает чистой геометрической абстракцией, особенно проходя мимо кооперативных гаражей.
ДЕНЬ 43
Ночная прогулка постоянно встречает такие продуктовые маяки.
ДЕНЬ 44
Сыновья создали костюм супергероя из картона, который собирались выбрасывать, я даже ни разу не помог им) Потом обнаружили, что костюм похож на зайца)
ДЕНЬ 45
Заборы гаражных кооперативов сегодня приобретают новые значения)
