The events described in the manuscript reveal the involvement of God in the human world.\nIn contrast, I read \u201cThe Book of Miracles\u201d from the position of cosmocentrism. It is a story about forces and elements that are indifferent to us and capable of destroying us; and about the need to seek harmony with these forces. About good and unkind premonitions and fragility of life. This is a view at an ecosystem in which it is impossible to separate a man from nature and nature from space.\nMy goal was to find technology that allows only partial control of the result, so that each picture was taken in collaboration with the elements, landscape, fauna. Creating images in reality, rather than using computer technology, gave the necessary restrictions on the artist\u2019s \u201call-powerful\u201d, helping to compress the essence of the vision into a concentrated form, as in the art of Japanese haiku.\nProduction was based on staged photographs of real objects and locations, the use of pyrotechnic effects, the creation of light installations, large- scale physical layouts integrated into the natural environment, and work with animals.","space":"We use rather large prints\nor, depending on the space, lightboxes are possible.\nTherefore, a sufficiently large space is necessary.\nWe have several concepts, and, depending on the capabilities, we can use the old ruined architecture (preferably church)\nWe can also create an \u201cair cathedral\u201d with the help of a rabiz in the open air or inside some large room.\nOr use a traditional space with dim lights, using a light kinetic installation demonstrating a complete solar eclipse cycle and lightboxes.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":10,"names":"Igor","surname":"Elukov","email":"igor_elukov@mail.ru","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"3310 057203","address":"2nd Sovetskaya 25\/2-32","city":"Saint-Petersburg","nacionality":"Russian","country_id":"192","birthdate":"1991-05-16T21:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1991-05-16T21:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+79643327601","web":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/igor.elukov"}
