Barbie`s American Dream (single—channel video, 2012) The video was recorded on Moscow`s Red Square. During the operation, the artist, dressed as a Barbie doll, a symbol of the commercial America, was shooting a soap bubbles gun with quite a resonant sound at people and objects within her sight. The work refers to antagonisms existing between the two superpowers — America and Russia.
