About the project
I infiltrate and deconstruct critical objects with a point of social activism. This work challenges security of the Russian regime centred around death and violence. Depicting it's means of murder and showing their vulnerabilities is the first step to their destruction. It's not just an abstract system, but places that have addresses and security flaws. The systems capable of creating death prove to be not as stable as they seem. Participating in the exhibition would give me a platform to share this message.

Testing, 2020 Using an underground tunnel to infiltrate a rocket testing institute. Various testing models scattered around, a green crate of explosives resting right under a table. The plant lays foundation to military rocket research and is actively used to this day. Production, 2021 Improper motion sensor placement made infiltrating an Aerospace factory possible. Cargo rockets for the Russian space program and military satellites are manufactured there. In one of the pictures you can notice a security guard staring into their phone. This area could be entered without breaking a single lock. Support, 2018 Acommunication bunker to be used by the government in case of a nuclear war. This particular object would be responsible for upkeep of the propaganda machine: state radio broadcast system. Even during a mass extinction event the lies must go on. The bunker was visited through a connection to a nearby metro line. Former emergency exit that had been forgotten by its guards. Protection, 2020 Mutual destruction is the main argument used by governments to justify their nuclear deterrence. Protection of population is also a big part of it. If attacks won’t achieve a certain death toll, they stop being feasible. This is an underground power and air filtration plant of the Moscow metro. Commissioned in the 90s, currently still unfinished. One ladder was everything needed to enter this critically important place. Control, 2021 Agroup of people wearing the right clothes can bypass supposedly strict access control. The security saw company branded coats and refrained from checking IDs. Entering construction of an additional station for a busy transport hub. Bad actors using the same technique to access live metro tunnels could be a cause of future fatalities.
About the artist
Name: Kyrylo P
Born — Location: Ukraine - Russia - Germany

My family is mixed and their relationship wasn't great initially. Born in Simferopol, brought to Moscow at the age of 6, I've struggled fitting in since ground school. The occupation of Crimea in 2014 pushed me to anti establishment activism. Urban explorers were the only community that welcomed me. Living in Russia and regularly visiting Ukraine was a risk so I came to Germany to seek safety.
