The object is a kind of sacred building that is reminiscent of both a Western European chapel and an ancient Greek domed tomb, and at the same time ‘recycles’ these images. It is obviously a cult building that in a certain way meets the modern requirement to symbolise everything.
 First humbly dedicated to St Tyrus, the chapel was then surrounded by the ‘pillars’, making the combination, which was given a significant temple image, feel monumental. It has evolved into a local shrine dedicated to an iterative process of transforming common images into highly artistic images. The work ‘Pillars’ consists of four rotating bodies made of tyres. As the project is centred on ecology, the ‘pillars’ come from oscillograms of recorded poems about nature by Hlebnikov, Zabolotsky, Vvedensky and Oleynikov.
 The synthesis of the arts reaches a certain synthesis here. By championing their material, the chapel has abstract ‘sculptures’ and an object of unfixed hardscaping – conceptually and literally: they were fused together and later recycled. The work consists of used car tyres.
